I'm waiting for someone to make a doodad to clean the boat tail and charge $30 for it.
Seriously I just scrape it off or I use Carbon Cutter.

Scraping the carbon off of the tail of your bolt is about as useful as cleaning out the carbon from the tailpipe of your vehicle........

They are a little more than $30 bucks but a gas piston upper would cure the carbon thing on the bolt tail..................... Just kidding, please no flame!
Seriously, I just use a bench grinder with a wire brush if its bad enough, got to watch out for the gas rings though, better take them off if you do it this way!!..........................AD
Yeap,same as the bolt....seems to be self limiting.Although if it looks heavy and bothers me,I soak the offending area in my jar of No.9 or a jar of CLP(both of which I use as a dunkit) and dig the carbon out with a sharpened chop stick.Otherwise I dont worry too much about it.
This area is self limiting as the carbon builds up and then doesn't build up anymore so a cleaning regimen is not needed.
For long term storage, it is smart to scrape this off to avoid pitting on the back of the bolt.
I use slip carbon cutter followed by the edge of a brass punch if there is a stubborn spot.
Otherwise keep this are well lubed when you put your gun away even for a short time.

LeadAway cloth works wonders...I use it for my M1A piston and my 642CT.
Ned's MOACKS tool has one that is very effective if you are so in need of doing so takes 3 seconds and presto clean I never clean mine off it serves me no purpose to do so. over 6k right now in one dirty gun that hasnt seen anything but more lube and ammo
