Heres a thought and what I do Hatch. Get a pint ball jar. Hoppes #9 buy the bigger bottle if you use it regular and fill it full enough that it will cover the cylinder. Take the cylinder out of the gun drop it in the jar let it soak. I usually let it soak overnight. It speeds that process up and makes cleaning the cylinder a snap.Hatchdog wrote: ↑Sun Feb 07, 2021 10:49 amThat Billy Bones target made me laugh out loud. Love the ceegar in his teeth.![]()
I used to have a 10 shot S&W M/617. Loved the revolver but it seems like it used to take me a week to clean it with all those little holes. Your 12 shooter would just add another day or two to that.![]()
Thanks for putting a stop to all that ruckus at the saloon!!!

Re: Rimfire ruckus at the saloon !
Yeah starting around that time Uberti was moving toward that type hammer safety for all the 1873 type revolvers. However some Cimarron revolvers I think the model "P" still were like the original Colt with no safety. The Cimarron Evil Roy .357 I bought last year was still the old style and I made sure of that before ordering. You had to get it thru Evil Roy's shop.

After 60 rounds or so the cylinder wasn't that dirty. Cleaned up quick with Ballistol and a few patches. I'm going to post the revolver work over in the Handgun section as I go along.
Re: Rimfire ruckus at the saloon !
Nice shooting there Forty! Looks like you taught those bad guys a lesson. I don't thing they will be messin with you again.
I like the looks of that Cattleman. That color case hardening on the frame always make for a good looking gun. Good luck and have more fun with it.
