I am standing by MY wording. He is wasting his time on something unnecessary.
...you dredged up a thread 9 days old, just to comment that something was unnecessary, when nobody around ever said it was. keep the trolling to GD with the basement-dwelling neckbeards please.
It is unecessary and I'm happy to discuss why and relate from my own personal experiences on the topic as I used to think scraping the bolt was needed. Insofar as the insults, perhaps you should knock it off or if you really think there's an issue, report me.

Despite your own illusions of moderator grandeur, you are
not a moderator. I
honestly think you need a reminder.
However, let's try a different tack even though you're not the OP and hopefully our little tiff won't prevent him from learning.
I spent 8 years in the Corps as a grunt and really learned down to a molecular level, the idiocy of scraping metal on M4/M16. It
never helped the weapon's function nor accuracy. Now that I've been out of the Corps for 11 years, I've had a chance to change the cleaning intervals on my personally owned ARs. What I've found is that lack of cleaning does not effect accuracy (at least on my carbines until I shoot out a barrel, done it twice) and all you really need to do for cleaning an AR's internals (if you're chasing group sizes you may wish to experiment with say pushing 2-4 patches of carbon solvent, then 2-4 patches of copper solvent every few hundred to 1k or so rounds) is lube heavily and spray out with non chlorinated brake cleaner (do this outdoors!). Do everything; the lower, the disassembled BCG, muzzle device, barrel, and upper. Then relube. I prefer Slip2K EWl currently but Fireclean is good.
I've followed this routine on one of the
worst calibers for an AR and the rifle is fine, it's my
5.45 AR which is currently awaiting its
third barrel. This AR runs like a good Gen 3 Glock 9mm and I have never scraped any carbon off of it. I've shot the fuck out of it while dirty and it just continued to run and run, shooting quite accurately as well. I've done the same on my 5.56 ARs as well and I'm a
big fan of cheap steel cased ammo
So...OP, shoot more, clean less. Weapons get dirty. Trying to keep the bolt tail clean on an AR is an exercise in futility and unnecessarily wasting your time on top of possible exposure to chemicals.
