Brushing the Cylinder of a Rome 22caliber Revolver

Video Transcript

"Now here we are with the cylinder. It's been sitting just as long as everything else. And really, this may be one of the most labor-intensive parts in the cleaning process to the whole firearm itself. This is what holds your rounds in it. This is where the rounds discharge from. This is where you're going to take the rounds out of the cylinder. So, on the front and the back of the cylinder, it's going to build up pretty good. It's going to be kind of brazed in there, that powder brazed in there pretty good. Now what I like to use is a little 22 scrub brush. As you can see here, I just have a little bit of a push handle. I'm going to use this. And I've got Break Free inside these holes and I'm just going to use this scrub brush and I'm going to kind of push in and out of every one of these. And if you feel like it, feel free to use a little bit extra Break Free. Like we were saying, it's not bad and, in fact, I think I'm going to give this one extra squirt into each one of these just to give a little bit of added security that I'm breaking some of this stuff down. And so I'm just going to go in here. Alright, so we got a little bit of scrub there with the Break Free. It's in there and I'm going to come back to it and I'm just going to do each one of these individual. Get in there. And you can see here, that's a six shot and I know I've cleaned one and I just kind of keep a mental count of where I'm at with it. I know I'm in hole number two and I kind of come back and forth. Hole three now. And we're just going to work our way around in the same fashion as we did in the beginning. We're just going to repeat the steps for all six of these chambers here. Now that I have all six of these chambers cleaned, or scrubbed, what I'm going to do now is I'm going to get my bore light and I'm just going to kind of look inside these cylinders and see if I can't see possibly some type of imperfection, maybe some caught black powder or maybe some pitting, so that's what we're going to do next. We're going to grab this bore light, we're going to look inside here and we're going to make sure that we're getting everything out that we want to get out."
