I use a chamber brush with some Mpro7 cleaner.
One thing that I'm glad I grabbed and been using was some of those cotton chamber stars, they make the process so much quicker and thorough. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I’ll look into them, ever try the swab it chamber ones No, but I know what you're talking about. IMO the Tapco ones would seem to do a better/quicker job because there's more cotton "lugs" verses just the two on the Swab It version. Not only that but I prefer cotton over foam. The only thing is that if you are too aggressive with the Tapco ones they will come off the slotted jag. |

I snip off the end of a q-tip and secure that in a pair of curved surgeons forceps. Works perfect.

Anyone tried one of those nylon bristle chamber brushes? I've thought about it but never pulled the proverbial trigger.

I wrap a 3” Otis patch around a nylon chamber brush and twist in into the chamber. Comes out pretty damn clean.

Extension: I use one [broken off end] of a cleaner soaked q-tip held with hemostats to clean inside and underneath the lugs

After you clean the bore then tackle the extension; shoot some brake cleaner in that bad boy, jam a rag or paper towel in there an wriggle it around a little, hit it with the brake clean again, then spray some lube on it.
Done. My lower receiver, BCG and 1911 cleaning method is the same; hose down with brake clean, wipe, hose down again, then lube. My local Auto Zone probably thinks I'm drinking the stuff. |

What I use is a CAT Outdoors Talon Lug Scraper and star shaped chamber cleaning pads.

For situations like this, if you can go out to the shop or garage, driveway, whatever you have, and go at it with some brake cleaner and blow it out with compressed air (if you have an air compressor) usually works great for me, especially if you loosen the crud up with a brush. Just watch out for blowback in your face, probably be best to at least eyepro on.
