[QUOTE="P7M13, post: 1956141, member: 94154"] For really nasty carbon, try kerosene. If you're really anal about it, as I suspect you are, you can use an old Sonicare brush head, modified to fit the chamber. I use mine on some pistol parts and cleaning bolts. It's a nasty, messy process, so do outside and wear proper PPE. Also beware, kerosene can remove bluing, so only use it on stainless. I wouldn't even worry about the muzzle pitting. There's a lot more going on on an Axis rifle that would cause the occasional flyer. I usually go hundreds of rounds between cleanings, when either the chamber mouth looks dirty, or I see gray carbon start to form on the crown. [/QUOTE]
