So I want to know what you guys like to do to clean your AR. Do you use bore snakes? or chamber stars?
I clean my bolt very well. But I am worried I am not cleaning the chamber as well as I should. Also anyone worry about damaging the rifling/barrel with brass brushes? Edit. Sorry if posted in wrong place. |

Quoted:
I clean the chamber with an AR bore brush then I run a boresnake through it a few times. For the BCG I just disassemble it, wipe it off, spray it with a little CLP, wipe off the CLP and carbon fouling, apply motor oil then reassemble. chamber brush? i want some stars to clean out the extension. little clp on the bcg i just hit the cam pin with 1 squirt before you shoot and then disassemble and wipe down when your done most of the carbon will still be in suspension in the still wet clp. o and some q tips and boresnake. Take a look at your muzzle occasionally too pushing all that stuff through the bore it can accumulate on the muzzle crown inside the muzzle device sometimes |

I have found using Mobile One synthetic motor oil as a lube makes cleaning much easier as well as keep the parts slippery.
I use Kroil for cleaning all my ARs Of course, the few times I do shoot my DI carbine and strip it down and just put my piston AR in the safe with no cleaning (cleaning a piston more than once in every 5 range trips is a waste of time) I wonder why I still bother with a DI but I just like the simple design so have kept one Stag and my 15 pound White Oaks is a DI but I don't seem to mind cleaning that after a good season of precision shooting.
