    i seriously think we need a new board rule- if your position on a given established topic is such that you cannot engage in the spirit of the OP without turning the conversation into an argument, don't post in the thread.

    the OP clearly stated he read the cleaning stickies. everybody and their mother knows the cool kids don't clean. we don't care- we still clean.

    Waste of money and time. Not worth it. I gave mine away.

    What exactly does carbon in that area do to the weapon?



    Baked on carbon can absorb moisture, and moisture leads to pitting. There have been pics posted before of what baked on carbon fouling left uncleaned does.

    but you don't clean to begin with... so, naturally, a product you have no use for is a "waste" to you, specifically. but how does this mini product review benefit somebody who does?

    I did clean and then I pulled my head out and bought some non chlorinated brake cleaner. Pat Rogers advises that this device can abrade enough to change the tolerances on critical services. I used this device and could not find a benefit to using it.

    I use BC, too, but it doesnt do anything to baked on carbon. You need a mechanical means to remove that.


    I just stick the firing pin down there, and spin it around.

    whats the alternative? the scrapers that form-fit into the bolt bore do less damage than picks and screw-drivers and such. and since the only part you're scraping is the bottom, which is covered in tenths of carbon, a change of what.... thousandths...? ten-thousands...? to the material depth in the same place shouldnt be a concern. but since i've never worn through the chroming to begin with- and i've always been a scraper- i don't think it causes any wear, if done right.

    the point is just to remove the cakes of carbon that, as belmont stated above, hold moisture and cause pitting.

    The entire gun operates on metal and metal contact.
