[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1975526, member: 2736"] Different designed brakes require different methods sometimes but I generally clean them at the same time I clean the bore. The solvent will disperse in the brake and do a fairly good job of cleaning it. Ported brakes are easy to finish up using Q Tips and drilled ported brake need a spray of WD 40 with the muzzle pointed down to wash out any excess solvent. then a final air blow and dry patch the bore and the brake finishes the job, After many shooting sessions the brake may need a better cleaning and it is removed, soaked in solvent and Sonic cleaned, I then apply a small amount of anti seize to the threads and re install. this aids in the removal later on and doesn't effect the ability to stay tight. How ever you clean your rifle, the brake can be cleaned at the same time. No question that the brake makes cleaning more difficult but it is worth it. Clean is clean how ever you achieve it is fine.
