How do you guys clean the star chamber and locking lugs on your AR-15? I feel like my routine with the brush, bore snake, and Q-tips just isn’t working. What's the trick?
 
I used to just rely on my brushes and Q-tips for cleaning, but switching to a chamber star brush made a big difference for me. The way it’s shaped makes it so much easier to get into those tricky spots around the lugs. And I love pairing it with a chamber mop that’s soaked in some solvent for that final touch.

ARs can get pretty messy sometimes. Unless you're running into reliability problems, you don't have to stress over making everything look super shiny. But if having a clean chamber gives you some peace of mind (and I totally get that), using a chamber brush and a good carbon cleaner can make a huge difference.
