ACTION CLEANING TOOL KIT Reviews & Ratings

The locking lug area on most bolt action rifles has a tendency to collect brass chips from cases, brush bristles, primer residue, bolt lug grease, and solvents. This accumulation of debris can wear heavily on your bolt lugs. Our lug recess tool should be used routinely by every rifle owner to clean this neglected and hard to reach area. Lug Recess Tool - Specifically for cleaning the locking lug recess area. Use with felts or cotton rolls. Chamber Swab and Handle - For cleaning and drying the chamber. 8-32 threads for large bore mops. Bolt Brush - Double headed brush to scrub the bolt lugs, bolt face, and bolt body. The lug recess tool has a slotted head that accepts cleaning felts and cotton rolls (supplied with the tool). This tool is inserted into the action and rotated inside the lug recess areas. Solvent can be applied to the felts or cotton to remove debris. A dry felt or cotton roll can then be used to dry the area out. The chamber can then be wiped out with the swab handle and mop. The bolt should be sprayed down with a degreaser and scrubbed with the double-headed brush. Be sure to apply new grease to the bolt on the bearing surfaces of the bolt. The bolt shroud should also be routinely cleaned and re-greased. The Lug Recess Tool and Swab Handle are both made of stainless steel for a lifetime of use and can be purchased individually.

They work

I would suggest wetting the felts with your favorite cleaning solvent before inserting into the action , both to make them a bit more pliable and easier to insert into some actions , and to improve their cleaning capabilities . Excellent product , and well worth the price . This is the item you want for getting those corners cleaned out . Rotate the felt in both directions to get all the junk loose . Next step for me is to over-lay a wet patch on the felt , re-insert , and rotate both directions again . Followed by a "round" , to clean up . My only complaint of this product is they only come in a 5-pack . Package them in 10 or 15 pack , to save some shipping cost and your order processing time .

Brass handle insert rotates

I noted right off when cleaning R700, AR-15 and AR-10 Chambers | Lug Recesses that the brass insert rotated within the plastic handle which mitigated the usefulness of the tool. I drilled both handles for 1/8" dia roll pins such that the diameter of the pins passed through the brass insert with full purchase. Less than adequate torque transmission problem solved.

Cleaning Felts

These cleaning felts work fine with the action cleaning tool if you use them in an action they will fit in. They will not work in a Browning X-Bolt chambered in .270WSM. Do not force the felt in the action or you risk getting them stuck. I used them on Remington 700 and Winchester Model 70 actions just fine. They do clean well when used with a gun cleaning solvent. The felts I've used have a small hole in them for the Allen head retaining screw to pass through. They measure .9250" long, so make sure they will fit in your action as they are not very pliable.
