Best AR bolt carbon removal tool
I was just wondering what you guys recommended as the best for the money?

I'm not familiar with the specifics of the AR platform, but for recent improvements in gun cleaning I have been quite pleased with Otis products. 0 -
If you're going to occasionally scrub an AR bolt, I would suggest soaking in a carbon cutter, then use nothing harder than a brass brush. Nylon brush is better, IMHO. More damage is done scraping these things with hard objects (stainless dentist picks, flat bladed screwdrivers, stainless brushes, etc) than in leaving them alone. 0 -
We used tooth brushes and pipe cleaners in Viet Nam.

I can understand wanting a rifle to be squeaky clean, but looking at things realistically there's no need to become overly concerned with that bit of carbon buildup way back inside the bolt carrier.
It will never build up to the point that it interfere's with functioning of the gun and corrosion won't be an issue.

Yeah, right- as they say: Tell it to the Marines. Especially those that survived the hill battles. Their M16s were interfered by that little bit of carbon buildup- despite Colts assurances.
You're mistaken on some details.
Also, my statement isn't based upon Colt recommendations.0 -

The only two cleaning brushes you'll ever need.

While I have not used them myself, Brownells sells a couple of different carbon scraping tools for AR bolts. 0 -

Consider getting a piston.... 0 -
I have piston, I have standard...shoot semi and full auto with both types. Unless you're going into a 500-round "mad minute" firefight; IMHO piston systems can and do work, but honestly; a piston gun is an answer searching for a problem with modern AR's, modern ammo, and minimum care. 0 -
Not to mention if you also shoot supressed with a short barrel, or in my case, you shoot left handed and get tired of the gases wafting back into your face. 0
