| Just wondering how you guys clean your brushes (nylon and bronze) when they start getting all caked up. Water doesn't work too well. Thanks! |
| Brake cleaner won't hurt the brush or the rifle. Many people spray out the crud from the nooks and crannies with brake cleaner. I use it to clean the breach face and around the barrel extension lugs where it's hard to get a rag. Just make sure to re-lubricate well. Brake cleaner will pretty much remove any oil or grease. |
| Glad to hear you mention that - I cleaned my AR for the first time the other day (I'm a newb, not one of those run-the-gun-into-the-ground guys), and I was thinking that the barrel extension/kugs were really the only hard part to get to. You blast them out with brake cleaner? I thought I remembered from reading that non-chlorinated carb cleaner was OK, but brake cleaner wasn't. I have to do some more reading.... |
