At least in a typical 9mm bolt, there is a long section of the striker channel that is too thin for Q-tip to fit. It goes from the bolt face, under the extractor, and ends a shoulder where the striker return spring sits.
So, how do you guys clean that section of the channel?
Tried a web search, but people just say "use a medical q-tip". Sure a medical q-tip is much longer, but it is also too thick! Or other guys say "use a pipe cleaner". Heck, just the stem of a pipe cleaner is as thick as the striker's thin part.
