I haven't seen anything yet. Instead I use qtips, lots and lots of qtips.

Some dude posted a pic of a certain DREMEL BRUSH that could be used exactly as you say. I'm sure if you go to ACE hardware and look thru the dremel section you'd find it.
It would be worth buying a dremel just for that reason.

Well this is a couple of the tools I use. These scrapers are made from broken sections of aluminum cleaning rod. I first beat the ends flat with a hammer, then shape them to the bolt carrier inner contour with a file.  I first soak the disassembled bolt and carrier components in a mixture of Hoppes #9 and turpentine. While these components soak and the carbon softens I start on the rest of the rifle. www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=3&f=7&t=275844 Back to the bolt and carrier, I use the DIY scrapers to remove as much carbon as possible. Then it’s q-tips or a small round bristle brush with a patch draped over the end. |

That was more along the lines of what I was thinking. It would have to have a long stem portion, though, to reach all the way into the carrier. Hmmmm. The wheels are turning....... |

There is a tool that does that but has a cutting head like affair that takes off the carbon. IIRC they're available from Brownell.
