Don't scrape it with anything harder than brass Would you carve metal off your internal combustion engines chamber ?  |

In boot camp (recruit training) they had us scrape the carbon off the bolt with the firing pin.
 Also used the firing pin to scrape the crown of the muzzle and we also took them into the showers to clean them before final inspection. |

Why?
The bolt will break long before carbon build up becomes an issue. |

I no longer scrape the carbon from my bolt tail. I let it sit in some Hoppes and then scrub it with a brass brush a few times and call it good to go. Whatever is left on there, is left on there. About 15k rounds on my particular rifle at this point, mostly from 500 to 1000 round training days. YMMV.
