I don't own a C&B revolver, but have some friends who do, and one of them (he's a little odd, so cut him some slack) just uses the little parts basket in the dishwasher, and, after removing the grips, runs the whole mess through on "auto-dry." He says that as long as he gets them out while they're still hot, none of the parts will be rusted, and the oil soaks in a lot better then, anyway. And they're really clean!
