I've been cleaning double-action revolvers for many years and although I never put any lubricant in the chambers or underneath the extractor star, I've always put a small (very small) amount in the bore before putting the gun away. Before shooting it I always run one or more clean patches through the bore to clean out the lubricant.
What say ye--little bit of lubricant in the bore after cleaning it, or no?

PS. The owner's manuals for my semi-autos state that you should put a little bit of lubricant in the bore after cleaning it. Why would a double-action revolver (or any revolver) be different?
I always have, no issues.
