If you have a way to secure your rifle in an upright position muzzle end down with a catch vessel under it [or have someone hold it for you] I'd get one of these wash bottles fill it about half full with charcoal starter or other [petroleum distillates] solvent [one could also use Ronsonol which is mostly hexanes] and just wash the the thing out until the wash solvent comes out clean. Wipe out the recesses with something like an oversized [3 inches] dry patch and push a wet patch followed by a dry patch down the bore.
Nonpolar hydrocarbon solvents are great for removing most oils and greases. For me the main thing to be cleaned out is bolt lug lube.

I personally use small caliber bristle brush and wrap cloth patches around the lug/barrel area.

I use regular gun cleaning fluid and an old toothbrush; hey it works!!! I also plug the barrel with a cleaning rod with a patch, run down to the chamber then use a good blast or two of brake cleaner and then 100lbs of compressed air. I usually will do this once a year before hunting season starts, but remove the action from the stock when I do this.
Interesting idea is the toothbrush long enough?
Sure if you go in from the top of the receiver and through the magazine well you can do a good a pretty good job. Also use a piston cleaning kit with a piece of terry cloth towel patch along with the tooth brush. I also use the nylon bristled brush to clean the entire action on rifles and pistols, and.....once upon a time when dinosaurs were walking the earth revolvers.

I am not sure how clean I actually get mine, but after a cleaning, I tip the rifle upside down in a garbage can, then put the nozzle thingy on a can of Gun Scrubber aerosol, and spray vigorously in that area. It drains down the chamber-barrel. Then a blast of compressed air, set it back up in vise, clean the chamber, one jag down the tube, call it a day.
I then grease the back of the bolt lugs, firing and cycling, redo
