wwillson Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 I have been trying to clean the powder residue from the bolt of my AR and can't get the last bit off. It's almost like it was baked on in oven and is hard as can be. I've soaked it in #9 over night, which really didn't help much. I've even tried to scrape the residue off with a plastic knife, which helps, but still won't take all of the residue off. Any ideas?Thanks,Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-MAN Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Try a non-chlorinated brake cleaner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squibload Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 I've see engine cleaner recommended in some forums. Seafoam Deep Creep spray or GM Top Engine Cleaner come to mind. If you go to the Seafoam manufacturers page it lists gun cleaning as one of the uses for Seafoam. Seafoam does a dandy job on engine carbon, so I imagine it would work fine on powder residue.

wwillson Posted September 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 Both good suggestions and I also have some Auto-RX. I'll try all three over time and share which works best.Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
