If you have no problems -- you have no problems! It isn't how or what a fellow uses to clean his rifle (I have cleaned my rifle in rivers and showers). Chances are no matter what he uses, it will get enough of the carbon off to ensure solid performance.
I have shot an AR of mine for the last forty days pretty much daily and just today I got the chance to clean it!. I have been hosing the bolt with CLP in temperatures from about 15F to 60F over these forty days. The AR continues to run. Today cleaned the bolt and bolt carrier and hosed the barrel with carb cleaner and ran a bore snake through the same.
Take my word for it -- if I had nothing else I would have hosed the bolt and bolt carrier down with shaving cream and ran my toothbrush over it until relatively clean. No sweat -- I would have dumped 30 weight motor oil on it if I didn't have Break Free or one of the ten other hand out lubes that contractors have given me over the years -- each one thinking that somehow they could BS guys who shoot into thinking their lube was better than anyone elses or what is issued.
Well -- old Ethan Allen may differ in his opinion but please remember that the carbine or rifle your Green Mountain Boys are using today don't know the difference so when all else fails -- try out what the Army recommends!
He, he, he.
