Help: Can't Get Chamber Face Clean?
Attachment 55443
The picture isn't very good, but you can hopefully see what appears to be a ring of carbon buildup on the bevel of the chamber face going into the chamber. I've been using the chamber brush on it over and over with CLP, but I can't seem to get it off for the life of me. It's almost making me wonder if it's a chrome lining bare spot. I've shot about 300 rounds. Any advice?

Lube. Shoot. Repeat.

Are you planning on putting your rifle in a safe for years and years without handling it? Then don’t begin to worry about where there is carbon buildup. It is self limiting almost everywhere in the entire system and will simply not change the reliability.
Destroying shit via overzealous cleaning on the other hand? I make no promises.
If you’re dead set on being anal retentive and using a chamber brush, wrap the little copper lug cleaner part in a 12gauge cotton patch. Pump it in a couple of times with a little twist and trust that you’re done...because you are. A long q tip if you are simply medically required to indulge some sort of OCD.
Also, your rifle is fine. You don’t need new barrels, you don’t need to clean it within an inch of its life, and in all likelihood you’re going to **** it up. Shoot it. Lube it. Do that until your bolt breaks or the damn thing key holes and enjoy it as a tool that works in incredibly awful conditions with remarkably low maintenance. You can lube the damn thing with Vaseline and it will run. It isn’t fragile and it isn’t some precise thing that requires dental tools, crazy cleaning gear, or anything else.
