[QUOTE="crkckr, post: 1631260, member: 78056"] My vote goes to either the BoreTech carbon cleaner or the Slip 2000 carbon cutter. Both work very well cleaning the stubborn carbon off AR bolts & such. JB non-embedding bore cleaner also works but usually takes a minimum of 50 strokes to get it started. I use a bore guide and put a piece of tape on the rod as a marker so that the patch makes it to the muzzle but doesn't actually go out. Stroke in, stroke out = 1 full stroke. Once the barrel is clean I used JB Bore Bright which is the same as the bore cleaner but a finer grit, more like a polish. Maybe 25 full strokes or until patch is black. Once the patch (which has to be tight fitting... your cleaning rod should twist with the rifling) is black it's time for a new patch and more JB. I then run a patch with alcohol thru to get all the JB out, then run a patch of Kroil or WD40, then something like Rem Oil or synthetic motor oil thru the bore for corrosion protection. I suppose you could use Flitz or some other fine polish (metalglo, etc.) but I have no experience using it in the bore. The use of a bore scope is HIGHLY recommended! You can find things down there that will scare the beejeesus out of you! Cheers, crkckr [/QUOTE]
