Neat-o
Got my tool a few weeks ago (FAST service - Thanks!) and finally got my ARs dirty enuff to try it.
The bolt tail cleaning part and the firing pin part work as advertised - there will be a tiny bit of carbon left, but it will come off easy 'cuz all the rest will be gone.
The other end (for cleaning out the bolt carrier) works well also, but took some experimenting. I found that using a 2.25" square patch and then flipping one side over the end (sorta like using it as a jag) worked the best - using a bigger patch just made more work, and using it strictly as a jag (not using the slot) tended to chew up the patches badly.
I'll say this, I've never gotten the BCG as clean as fast I did with this tool - it encourages thorough cleaning by making it easy to put effort into the nasty spots. I've spent lifetimes swizzling a folded patch around inside a bolt carrier with a brass scraper, and it's mighty frustrating - the M-4 tool just plain works.
Thank You, Sir!
