Jerry Miculek uses Lucas contact cleaner. Is that safer to use than brake cleaner? https://youtu.be/ZMuWlomfnf4?t=774
Anyone use Mil-Comm MC25? I have used it followed by a water rinse and re-lube for a Glock. It is expensive but convenient. I don't know if it can handle the fouling in an AR.

This is a great tip for cleaning.Originally Posted by T2C
Don’t clean your rifles to death trying to scrape that last micron of black stuff off your bolt. Thats the phosphate.

Some folks are leery about using ammonia-based cleaners on chrome-lined bores. Haven't heard or read about any really detrimental results.

RamRodz - they don’t shed like regular Q-tips. They can attach to a cleaning rod. I got the large assortment and spare packs of the ones that get used most. The new wedge shaped tips are also handy.

Trick #1 is to have someone else do it for you. Nieces, nephews, your children etc.. The weapon doesn't have to be spotless, any cleaning is a good cleaning, especially as none of us are in boot camp turning them in for first inspection.

Board policy mandates I state that I shoot for BCM. I have also done work for 200 or so manufacturers within the firearm community. I am prior service, a full time LEO, firearm instructor, armorer, TL, martial arts instructor, and all around good guy.
I also shoot and write for various publications. Let me know if you know cool secrets or have toys worthy of an article...

Yes, those are cool as hell. I too have the multi-pack, flip-top box of them.

On a hard-chromed bolt?

My trick is... I don't shoot my house gun. Shoot my range guns and don't clean them. If I shoot my home D gun, then I have to inspect and clean it.

I have qTips , CAT M4 tool. I bought some pipe cleaners at a drug store years but now the drug don’t sell pipe cleaners. I bought one package from Michael’s craft store the will last a lifetime for me. Amazon sells them as well.

I also tear up my old t-shirts and use them as well to clean my guns. For my cleaning rods and other cleaning tools I keep a spray bottle of denatured alcohol clean all of the gunk off.

There’s a story for this. NG “Armorer” (not a real one) told a Joe Snuffy that the black stuff on his bolt was carbon and wouldn’t take the rifle back. Joe goes back to the area where his squad is cleaning. 5 or 6 of them take scratchy things to their bolts until shiny. SL sees them and rightly loses his $#!+. These guns were brand new FN M4A1s, right after their inaugural range trip, like 100 rounds on them.On a hard-chromed bolt?
I’ve also seen a pair of older 240 receivers get the same treatment.
Whatever LMT coats their e-bolts with is fantastic. 30 seconds with a wet GI toothbrush, and 15 seconds with a t-shirt. Done. Lube it.
