Default cleaning a revolver with a blued finish.

cleaning a revolver with a blued finish.

should a bronze brush or nylon brush be used in the bore and cylinders?

can isopropyl alcohol be used to remove oil from the blued finish
before applying paste wax for protection?

Either brush can be used, neither will hurt the bore or cylinders. Alcohol could be used to remove any oils, simple green would work better.
