chaz Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 Hi folk's. I'm curious as to what types of brushes/mops people are using to clean their rifle chambers. I currently just soak the area in a good cleaner with a bore mop designed for a slightly bigger caliber, then use a nylon brush after a good soak. The mop and brush are screwed into an 'adapted' cheap heat shrink covered alloy rod so i can use a twisting motion to clean the free bore and case mouth edge. But It's a job to see how well my efforts are, properly without a bore camera. I saw an M15/16 cleaning brush the other day which looked just the trick. Do many of you folks use the M15/16 brush, or something else? Some constructive replies would be appreciated. Cheers Chaz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldie Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 Dont, whatever you do, use one of the M16 chamber brushes. They are made of stainless steel, and will mark your chamber , without a doubt. Use a nylon brush, they work just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradders Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 M16 chamber brushes are phosphor bronze just like most chamber brushes. The stainless brush part is at the rear for cleaning the locking lugs on the barrel extension, which regular bolt guns don't have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaz Posted February 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 I'd never use a steel brush on the bore. Ouch! Thanks for the info and the link folks. Chaz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaz. @Chaz At which point would you be putting a steel brush in the bore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be at no point as i would presume it causes damage. And i don't know enough about Chamber/bore finishes to make that call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
