I thank all for their input

Keith, I especially thank you for very useful commentary. You are always so considerate. Bless You.

I am actually surprised noone cleans as I grew up doing, but that is really why I asked the question as I am curious about the use of the barrel vise and cleaning horizontally versus vertically.

I noted some discussion of cleaning with a drill. On rare occasion I have used a drill with bronze wool on a bronze brush on occasion but do so minimally as I am concerned about barrel wear on vintage guns. While I know the bronze brush is of no danger the overall abrasion from the drill is my concern. Am I being too careful?
