I have my cleaning rod and brush (either bronze or tornado) inserted into my drill. I’m amazed at how much cleaner my bores get. NEVER any gun oil on the stock. For bore cleaning Hoppes is my go to... but probably for nostalgic reasons. I do grease the joints, but I don’t like how grease holds grit. Cleaning a fine gun is a pleasure... it’s “extra” time with a treasure.
