A used toothbrush, some gun scrubber and a little compressed air is all you need! I did make a side discharge air nozzle . Mash the tip of a piece copper and drill a small hole through it so it sprays out the side

I have the Dewey recess cleaning kit with swabs but was hoping for a better diy solution. Good info guys, thanks

Tried the toothbrush but couldn't get back into the corners well. I like the side discharge ideas but it has to be almost 180 deg to get the pressure right on the faces.

I have used a plastic pick.

I spent the money on the boretech kit and I'm blown away. Previously I would roll a patch around a brush and scrub away. With the Boretech kit it took me 2-3 patches to clean what I thought was an already clean action. One of the best things I've ever spent $50 on

Just used my boretech on a pretty new bighorn action. Holy crap. It was nasty. Very easy tool to use

I got mine in and cleaned a Pierce Titanium receiver that I picked up used off this site. I was never impressed by the smoothness of the action until I used my boretech kit. It completely changed my opinion on the action even

I've had good luck using a really good foam cleaner by adding longer tubing and injecting right into the lug space. It will help clean and lift out debris at same time. depending on rifle, I tip rifle on side or even upside down. Little messy if you don't have a way to capture the runout but it seems to work nicely for me. I put paper towels down in a pan and just wipe up the captured runout.

I use a large caliber bronze brush and cotton balls. Just stick your balls on the end of the brush and swirl them inside the lug area. Works pretty good once you figure it out.

About the only Tipton cleaning tools I use is the Tipton action cleaning kit.

The lug recesses are cleaned with the plastic rod that has a U at the end. You just roll a felt insert into it and use whatever cleaner you want on it. Works great.

Yeah I'm impressed with the boretech. Gets the raceways, lugs, breach face, and chamber...in one tool. I like the action centering guide too. Dang fine tool
