| what is the proper use of a CHAMBER BRUSH just want to make sure im doing it correctly, its not the same as if you would push a patch down from the chamber. with the chamber brush you pull it down a couple times from the chamber end, not up and down the pull down only, and ofcoarse this is for ar's we are talking about. can you guys confirm im right, or show some visual pictures and tell me how to do it properly. thanks |

I'll prob'ly get flamed for this... but... I put it on a short cleaning rod section and use a drill motor to clean with it. First I wrap a patch around it (a big patch so everything is covered) and soak the patch with solvent. Then I stick it in and thoroughly wet the chamber. Then I remove the patch and scrub the chamber. Then I put another dry patch on and dry the chamber. Repeat until the final patch comes out clean. |

from Otis Technology: "[...]Assemble the short chamber cleaning rod. the chamber brush on one end, the T-handle on the other end. Insert the brush into the chamber. Turn the brush in a clockwise direction; let it feed itself into the chamber. This will loosen the powder residue and surface scale in the chamber and locking lugs. Continue turning the brush as it scrubs the shoulder. Turn and pull the brush from the chamber.[...]"

+1. Pretty straight forward. I don't know that wrapping it with a patch really does anything other than maybe keep the bristles from doing their job as well. And don't go nuts if there is some residue left in the recesses. White glove inspections are highly over-rated and can actually be counter-productive. |
