I always use paint thinner. Otherwise known as mineral spririts. Does a good job, not harsh and evaporates right off with a little compressed air.
Then I use a shaving brush with household..sewing machine oil. If it's one I plan to shoot I also put a little white grease on the rails.

Like David says above..Just keep it simple.
