Cleaning Bolt Carrier Group

I may have to try Racer X's technique but, currently use Triple Green to soak the BCG of my AR's, including the .308. A pistol cleaning rod with a bronze brush, cover with a patch saturated in Butch's Bore Shine or Hoppe's Bore cleaner to scrub off the carbon/powder residue from the back, inside where the bolt seats into the BCG. A Q-tip and/or a pipe cleaner for the gas tube.

Clean as a whistle and ready to reassemble, fire and repeat!!

just remember 2 things. Simple Green is water based, so you can't just soak it, you have to dry it completely or it will rust. 2nd thing. You have completely stripped off any lubrication and protective oil. You now need to protect the bare steel.

Ed's Red will solve both issues.
 
Does anybody have an MSDS or Safety Data Sheet for Slip 2000? It looks like nasty stuff in the jug and the company is ignoring my request for safety information.

Well, it's me again. I'll recant my grumbling about being ignored.:o

I can only guess my earlier email to Slip 2000 went into a bit bucket somewhere. I sent them a second email and got a lightning fast response with an SDS. I'd been looking for the choke tube cleaner SDS which is a different soup than the Carbon Killer. I asked, they answered, happy camper!
