Hello all. A question for the Old Army owners: about how long does it take for you to clean your pistol?

Last night I did a complete tear down cleaning. The process took me close to 3 hours with the cylinder taking the longest.

I love to shoot the Old Army but the cleaning time just makes me leave it in the cabinet for something easier to clean.

Are there any shortcuts to cleaning the cylinder? I was using Q-tips and a 50/50 mix of iso/windshield washer fluid. I would have just submerged the cylinder in hot water, but I was concerned about getting it completely dry IE: between the nipple threads.

Does anyone have any suggestions to speed up the Old Army cleaning time?

Thanks,
~Robert
