Is this a necessary tool or another gimmick?

I bought one from Brownell's and I'm not too impressed.  Doesn't get all the crud out.  I guess if you had a lot of residue baked on it might give you a fast start in cleaning it off.

Use an ammunition stripper clip with a patch on the end of it.

I just use foaming bore cleaner, a 45 or 40 cal bronze brush and some patches.

I use a piece of used brass...works well.

If they completly cleaned the hard carbon in the bottom of the carrier bore they would be worth it, but they dont in my experience.

You probably have something in a tool box or in the bottom of a junk that will work just as well.

A .308 or 30.06 round works as the best carbon scraper for the bolt.

I haven't found the need to scrape a carrier in 25 years.

Better living through chemistry.

If I feel my bolt or carrier is dirty enough, I'll let it sit in solvent for a while, then hit it with a brush.  A spent piece of brass should be fine too, as the brass should be much softer than the bolt or carrier.
