[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 820122, member: 1521"] If this is the tool you're talking about, the tampons/felts are for lug recesses, an yes they completely suck. [url=http://www.sinclairintl.com/gun-cleaning/action/chamber-cleaning-tools/sinclair-action-cleaning-tool-kit-prod35492.aspx]Sinclair Action Cleaning Tool Kit | Sinclair Intl[/url] I follow Geb's method with simple patches -for the chamber body area, and use a bronze brush for the neck/chamber-end carbon buildup. Then I spray down the chamber with a canned solvent/parts cleaner. Later I'll wash the the whole barrel from breech to muzzle with alcohol anyway, as I store my bores dry-prefouled. To aid in this I use a short length of gas line to guide patch/rod into & out of chamber without munging things up with patch-action contact. Basically a larger diameter rod guide. I know of no good way to clean between the breech and lugs. All I know is the tampon system didn't.. [/QUOTE]
