Cleaning bolt lug recess

[skipglo]

Hi can anyone tell me if there is a way to clean the bolt lug recess if you do not have the probeer tools? Non of my locals gun shops seem to have lug recess and chamber cleaning tools. I wanted to order j dewey tools online but they charge 121$ for the cheapest shipping option to where I live. That is 5 times the price of the kit I wanted to buy and I don't want to pay that much for shipping. So if anyone can give me any tips on how to diy it or use existing cleaning rods I'd appreciate it.

Use a bottle brush!

I have used a spray can od carburetor cleaner and it works well but will degrease the bolt so oil afterwards when the carburetor spray has evaporated and dried

Or you can take a 12 gauge bore mop and bend it at 90 degrees about a quarter inch from the tip.
