What is the best way to clean the front of the cylinder and chambers? The cylinder face is black and it will not come off. There is also black rings in the chambers (from the .38 special) that I can not get off. I have shot just a little over 50 rounds through it since it was new.
I ran a patch saturated with hoppes no. 9 through each of the chambers, let it sit and then ran a bronze bore brush through multiple times. And then another patch with hoppes no. 9. I couldnt get anything off the cylinder face either. I used a nylon bristle brush soaked in hoppes no. 9 too. Is a bronze ok for this or will it scratch? The rest of the gun cleans up fine.
