[QUOTE="Okanogan, post: 1693627, member: 90397"] I was cleaning up my bolt carrier and bolt after a range day and got the bright idea to try and clean the tube with a Q-tip with carbon cleaner. Don't try this at home! The head of the Q-tip came off inside the tube jamming it completely. I was able to work a little bit back out but frankly there is no way I could find to do a decent job in removing the Q-tip from a staked gas key. I ended up shooting the residue out and then recleaning up the bolt carrier group. I don't know how others clean their key, or if it is even necessary but the Q-tip method is definitely out for me in the future. [/QUOTE]
