    All this will do is scratch your parts.

    If you feel you need to scrape carbon, then use a sharp brass tool that is disposable.

    The only time I scrap carbon out of a carrier or tail of a bolt is for long term storage (years) of a collectible part so it won't rust.

    Other than that, you are wasting your time.

    I Love mine!

    I got it from brownells before my last tour in IRAQ did not pay full price as I got the MIL discount. I think it is great to have after you have put 1000rds of blanks through your rifle in one day. I am real annal though and I have to have it spotless.

    I will agree though that if your not using a lot of blanks or a suppressor there is not a need and a cleaning rod will work just as well for thouse of us that care that much.

    I thought you were supposed to throw as many of those blanks away that you could (when no one was looking).

    LB,
    I'm with ya man, I've put well over 1000 rounds thru my gun w/ nothing more then adding lube. I cleaned it when I felt guilty.But,

    Some of us have to deal with the weapon Nazis, even outside the military, and its their gun, so ya do what they want. I still don't do it as much as they want, or tell you its needed, and I tell everyone it has zero effect on the function of the weapon.

    But, again, your dealin with years of ingrained stupidity, some don't have that much expieriance. I still hear shit like,
    "why did they put all this lube on the gun, now its dirty"
    " Everyone knows not to put any lube on the gun in the desert"
    and my recent favorite..
    " Don't mix the tw25 with Breakfree, it'll crystallize" whatever the f*** that means

    oh and tw25 is LSA

    This is the kinda stupid crap ya have to put up with, so sometimes its just easier to buy the f"in scraper tool and be done with it, pick your battles and all.

    Bob

    In years past, I used the firing pin to scrape the carbon from the inside of the bolt carrier group.

    I stopped doing so now that I'm older, wiser, and most importantly, am using a gun and firing pin that I paid for, not one issued to me.

    I found out by accident a couple of years ago that the back end of a chop stick (free ones that come with Chinese take out) makes a very effective scraping tool for the insi9de of the BCG. Wipe the area first with your favorite cleaner (Hoppies, ect), let it sit for a minute, then scrape away. The bamboo chopstick works great, and no worries about scrapping the metal.

    I'm willing to sell my hi-tec bamboo scrappers at the low price of $19.95, plus shipping and handling. If interested...

    What a crock O'shit. A good Carbon cutter solution works, and so does a plain old screw driver for removing it from inside the BCG.

    That's a good idea. But truthfully, Although I've backed off on my weekly shooter, I've been scraping the shit out of the inside of my carriers for years. Dental tools and everything.... I've NEVER come close to scratching that hard ass chrome in there.

    If it makes you sleep better at night. Kinda like detail cleaning a Glock with pipe cleaners and Q-tips.

    Parker Valve brass o-ring pick works wonders and is cheap.
