cordless drill and brush

[rebs]

Has anyone used these to remove a carbon ring ?

 

[LVLAaron]

Yep

I might start a shit storm but no ,brush back and forth, no power. Patch it with a carbon remover, wait a few brush and patch, repeat. Good way to screw up your leade is a power tool.

Plastic Iosso brush and some Free All.

Im surprised no one has marketed a carbon ring removal tool yet. Not that I think that its a good idea but guys would buy em.

Years ago I had Manson make up some for me. The 338 HV, pre RUM based on the 404 Jeffery case, carbon fouled badly. Waiting on an HVAC guy to fix the air in the shop. When I get back out there I'll post a pic.

I think this is the one where Speedy uses a drill and brush to clean a barrel. Didn't feel like watching it to verify. LOL

I'm pretty sure that Speedy did not use a drill and a brush to clean his barrels.
But I could be wrong....

You're probably right, I did a quick scan/FF of the video I linked, didn't see a drill, but I thought I saw one of SG doing that, but anywho. LOL

Here is one guy that uses a drill:

I have been using this device for several months now and it seems to do a pretty good job. I get carbon rings from hell in my pd rifles as they are shot pretty hard when they are used.

The shaft is an old aluminum cleaning rod and the brush is for a dremel. You can buy them in a two pack at the hardware store. I use a nail set to start with to open up the bristles, then use the chuck end of larger and larger drills to expand the bristles to the size you want.

In use, the shoulder of the chamber squeezes down the diameter so it seem to fits the neck very well. It is easy to feel the end of the chamber/case mouth where the carbon ring is, and usually hard to clean easily.

It is crude but I wanted to try it first before I built an "Aaron" model on the lathe.

Clean the rifle properly every time and its not a big problem.

Bought as pile of bore mops from Shiraz years ago. I would soak
one in "Ed's Red". and shove it in the bore and let sit over night,
then a normal clean. i discovered "Piston Kleen" a couple of years
ago and way faster then Ed's.....Carbon is hard. Soften it up first.
then push it out the right way instead of making it into some form
of lapping compound, then spinning it in the neck, throat and lead.
You want to cut it out, you'll find steel also. Not worth the risk for a
poor man like me that can only afford one barrel at a time.

Most of the cleaning problems are created because people are trying to be gentle and then end up having to get aggressive when its too late. Like you said, clean it well every time and theres no need for anything exotic.

^^^^^^^^
Since I set barrels back on a regular basis, I just use my chamber reamer.

 

[AlNyhus]

I use a bronze bristle brush one caliber larger, dab a bit of JB on the end of it, push it to the end of the neck area and twist it. By borescope, every 3rd or 4th time I clean (I clean after each yardage) is adequate on a 30BR with H4198.

Alex how do you feel about paste type abrasives as part of routine cleaning? (Iosso)
