Ok guys....I just started recently carrying a 642. All my other guns are semis and I know how to break down and clean them no problem
I bought a bore snake for the .38 and know you have to clean out the cylinder.....
2 questions...does it matter in which direction you clean the 1 7/8 barrel? I know with the semis you have the barrel right in your hand so it is easy to put a cleaning rod right thru it from the chamber part. Doesnt look as easy to do with a revolver unless you have a pretty flexible clean rod
Also where do you apply oil to a revolver? The manual is crap as far as that is covered.
