I have seen the bolt-scraper tool and watched a video on its use, looks like a fantastic way to get the really really hard stuff out from inside the bolt, as chemicals don't seem to be able to touch it.
For those that don't know, the following in some areas of the weapon becomes so concentrated that it leaves a layer that you have to literally scrape off, the substance is very similar to the lead inside a wood pencil. Its very hard and does not soak up chemicals to help break it down.
The edge of the bolt on the rifle near the gas seal becomes very 'caked' with it, and I must have spent a freaking hour with a bronze brush and clp to try and break it down...
In the end I took a razor blade and scraped away at it, mm by mm, took forever and theres still a little on it.
However, after removing the compensator and cleaning up the crown, I was presented with the same problem. The crown is so coated that I'm afraid that accuracy could be affected.
I tried scraping the crown off with the razor blade of the caked on deposits, but its taking way to long.
Does anyone know whats the best way to remove this?
Is it becuase of the compensator that it became so caked on? had i removed the comp would the deposits been much much less?
Any input is appreciated.
