    FYI,

    The mouth of a 5.56 case is just the right dia to scrape the carbon off the bolt tail and the brass wont scratch the bolt.

    Free carbon scraper every time you pull the trigger...

    There is no scratching the bolt.

    Has someone actually scratched a bolt? There'd have to be some serious negligence going on to accomplish this!

    You would be amazed at the amount of gas carrier keys I've replaced because their owners had broken off a Q-tip inside of the key.

    That is actually what I use my dental picks for - to pick blown O-rings out of SCUBA valves.

    I've got one of those scrapers in a trade in Iraq. Give a new Russian 1976 dated laminated stocked AKM for it. Ah, the spoils of war in the early years.

    I gotta agree with you here. After 22 years as a cop and firearms instructor I have put thousands upon thousands of rounds (I've lost count) through a couple of my Colts. After I retired I got myself an armorers kit and it had a BCG scraper in it. I laughed and it's still unused. Once in a while I use the back of my knife blade to quick scrape the tail of the bolts but thats it. I Have never seen a gun stop running because of carbon build up.......NEVER!!!! NEVER!!!! But I have seen guns stop running because people were afraid to lube them

    Until that day,

    I treat everyone with respect. I stack them in my trunk neatly.

    Okay. Now we do it my way.

    "The Combat Application Tools, Inc. C.A.T. M-4 Tool allows the operator to clean the weapon and restore the bolt and carrier group to tactical tolerance in a matter of minutes."

    That sounds hot. I think I need it. I can't believe my weapons have not been in "tactical tolerance" all this time.
