FWIW you can also take a well used USGI chamber brush, and do the same thing to the inside of the bolt carrier. It will get the baked on carbon off pretty well.
Granted its not necessary to spotlessly clean an AR every time.... its quick, and does as good of job as is possible. I remember the days of spending 2hrs cleaning one gun only to still have tons of crud still come up with a clean q-tip during inspection time. Now I let a drill, solvent, and brake cleaner do the work for me. Its easy to clean an AR to 95% in 15 minutes if you do it right. I use SLIP Carbon Cutter as my cleaner, and then wash everything out with non chlorinated brake cleaner. Just make sure to wipe everything down with an oily rag as brake cleaner will strip everything off including whatever lube was present before. Also use outdoors, avoid prolonged skin contact, and wear glasses. Easy to get splash back in the eyes.....![]()
Just spray the whole thing out (outside or in a well ventilated area) with non-chlorinated brake cleaner. Don't worry about the carbon that doesn't come off. It doesn't hurt anything.
