    I wonder this myself. I don't have one, I've throw around the idea of purchasing one.. But I don't want to ruin the surfaces of the bolt and potentially leave a spot that's vulnerable. On the other side I wonder how much damage can this device really do if any, and if its covered in Ballistol, which my BCGs all are.. Will any spot really be THAT vulnerable.

    Copper certainly sould be fine, its much softer than steel or chrome.

    It's marine brass. If you could get a piece of brass rod, it would be pie easy to fashion a scraper out of it.

    Rarely do I go medeval on the inside of a carrier or the ass of a bolt. I did the other day for a switch to fireclean. I used the tool with the chisel tip in the above link for that. I have a conventional carrier scraper but they do not work on LMT Enhanced Carriers as the internal geometry at the rear is a bit different.

    How do you like that enhanced? I almost bought a LMT 10.5 recently but held for the time being.

    It has worked great from me, bolt and carrier for over 15K rounds.

    I'll never hit that round count, definitely not in one carbine, so it'll work for me!
