If you do not have a dental pick set to clean carbon off of your weapon (really useful for semi-autos), take a wire coat hanger, cut off about a 4 inch piece from the bottom, straight part. When you have the piece taken out, take a hammer and put one end on a hard flat surface, and hit it one good time. That end should resemble a standard screw driver. Now scrape carbon off the bolt to your hearts content.

1 year, and 450 views later and I'm the first guy to say great idea.

:-D

Been using this trick since boot camp in 1977.

A gunsmith showed me one similar. Take a empty cartridge and hammer the mouth shut and scrape away. I brought him an old shotgun that had been thru a fire and he used this method to scrape off the rust without damaging the metal.

Since then I've used to to work off rust and carbon buildup
