I saw a carbon scraper just the other day, don't remember the site I was looking under and now I can't find it anywhere!!! It resembled a bolt disassembly tool for FAL. It was advertised as being able to clean the 'front' of the carrier and the 'tail' of the bolt. Was not one that resembled a screwdriver. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Yes, I've already searched the stickys, no luck.

I would use a scraper only use as an field emergency expedient, the only carbon remover I use is Slip-2000. Once you try it there is no going back to the scrape and stare method.
As far as a field emergency goes, I live in Minnesota, not a lot of CQ going on here. From the reading of some threads, CQB must be a constant threat in some areas.

I looked at the CAT-M4 Nice tool, may be the one I get. I did find the tool I was looking for....the CRT-15. It can be seen on the Dillon site, One Source Tactical and a couple of others....kinda pricey !! Honestly, I'd just scrape it off with a penny. You know the tool is overpriced if you can buy a new bolt for less than the tool... |

I agree that it is not needed. I have fired many 10's of thousands rounds our of ar's in my life, maybe reaching into the 100,000's but who knows? I have never found a need for a carbon scraper. If you like to use one, then by all means go ahead. If the carbon builds up in the bolt, the excess is going to be scraped off by firing and won't stop the bolt.
Normal cleaning should be just fine to keep the weapon functioning properly. |
+1. Ill sell you guys one of these great carbon scrapers for only $20 + $5 shipping. Oh yeah and Chris Costa and Pat Rogers love it.  I would never buy one of these things. Just use a penny, knife, head of a firing pin, anything, and spray a little bore scrubber or carb cleaner on before and youre good to go.
