When mine get that bad, I go out in my garage and spray out the upper receiver with brake cleaner, blow it out with air compressor and re lube.
If you are worried about the drainage hold it over your oil drain pan. You do have a drain pan, air compressor and keep brake cleaner right? |

GrimEReaper, Yes that is the one. Just curious.

I just use a large nylon bristle brush to clean mine.
McMaster-Carr has a great selection of them. |

Baby bottle brush to break up the carbon, a semi-clean rag made from old t-shirts/underwear/socks (washed or unwashed. I don't judge), re-lube and keep going. The only tool I really find a blessing is the Tipton chamber tool with a chamber brush and chamber mop. I shoot a lot of steel so I like to scrape out the blow-by and make sure the barrel extension is pretty clean.

Screwdriver wrapped in rap to get the charging handle channel.
Chamber brush with rag for the main-upper. Bend q tips to swab locking lugs. Double-patch your eyelet, and gently twist in chamber to swab. No special tools. No BS. Just a clean, functioning rifle. |

Nut coal is best coal. Now available in 87lb bags.

This idea came from another member here some time ago: Mini paint roller, bend the handle straight. Replacement pads are about $0.40 ea in bulk. I prefer a parts washer, Simple Green HD (not the regular) and a bottle brush for the upper.

I use a shotgun bore mop with a rag wrapped around it attached to a pistol cleaning rod.
Gets most of the interior of the upper receiver, as well as inside the receiver extension. |

I spent a few bucks on extra pads and I'm good to go. The pads fold up and reach most of the internal surfaces of an AR's receiver. |
