| How do you guys get your chambers spotless? |
|
I'm not sure if I do get it spotless, but I just use a GI chamber brush on a couple sections of GI rod with some bore solvent and then swap it out using a worn out GI chamber brush with a patch wrapped around it. Several twists with each seems to get the job done. I also usually spray out the barrel extension with brake cleaner. Pushing a patch with a little CLP down the bore finishes the job
I'm not a stickler for 100% immaculate. My rifles are clean enough to be completely reliable, but probably won't pass a white glove test. |

You don't have to get the chamber and barrel extension 'spotless'. Just knock out the big chunks. BSW |

I use a chamber brush, a drill, and a cleaning rod. Chuck the cleaning rod into a drill and attach a chamber brush to the rod. Squirt some solvent into the chamber. Put the brush in the chamber and spin it for about 2 seconds or so. Pull the brush out and squirt some more solvent on it. Put it back in the chamber and give it another 2 seconds or so. Remove the brush and spray some brake cleaner into the chamber to flush it out. You're done.
If I'm away from a drill, I just hand twist it in the chamber. Some people will say that you shouldn't use the drill method because it will damage the chamber. Well, I have not EVER heard of a single incident where the chamber was hurt from doing it this way. I've been doing it for years and have yet to see a problem. |

My instructors (DI's) encouraged this in basic... hell, they even brought in the drill and WD-40 for final TI for turn-in... I would suggest using a brass brush instead of the steel issue chamber brush though... |

I normally just use a patch with cleaner on it. Should I be using any sort of brush? I have a chrome lined barrel, I just hate the scratching noise when using a brush down the barrel, makes it sound like I am doing damage and really scratching something in there. |

Saturate chamber with aerosolized CLP (Breakfree, RemOil, etc), give it few twists with the GI chamber brush on a dewey chamber rod, mop all the garbage out with a chamber mop on the same rod. Repeat as necessary.
Chamber clean. FWIW, I have never used anything other than RemOil CLP for cleaning up fouling, whether in the bore or in the action. That's for cleaning though.....when It's time to relube the action, everything gets a good coat of Slip2000 which I believe functions better as lube than the Remoil. YMMV. |
