I start at the range before I get home. I have a 3 piece rod I use to run a couple of patches with Hoppes thru and get most of the crap out. Then I soak one more and run it thru to let it work on the barrel till I get home. I have to break mine down to use the case, so I stuff a foam ear plug in the barrel and one in the chamber to keep solvent from leaking out.
When I get home I clamp the barrel in my bench and repeat the Hoppes drill till theres no more carbon. Then I run dry patches thru to remove the Hoppes and repeat the drill with Sweets 7.62 until the barrels clean. While the Sweets is working, I clean the lower, the bolt, etc.
I got one of the plastic tubes to run into the chamber. It has a solvent port you can squirt the Sweets into as the patch is inserted. Really cuts down on the mess.
I'll run one more patch with Hoppes down the barrel and a dry patch the next day, followed by one with CLP.
