[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1510317, member: 2736"] The ported type brakes don't need to be removed for cleaning unless you want to because they can be cleaned at the same time. I place the muzzle lower than the rifle and apply the bore solvent with a Q Tip. when the bore is clean, i use Q tips to wipe the brake out. these types of brakes are normally timed and torqued and difficult to remove. Drilled brakes that don't need timing are normally removed and soaked in solvent because they are hard to clean compared to ported brakes and don't have to be timed. I recommend that after cleaning a brake by removing it, the barrel tenon needs to be cleaned and anti seize needs to be re applied. Although most of the fouling is carbon, I don't recommend using anything other than your bore solvent because some cleaners can be harmful to your barrel. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
