Compressed air, or if its really, really bad, I hit it with a water hose then blow it out. Nothing real fancy here.

Brake cleaner may help or an automotive parts washer. Also some large pipe cleaners.

Take a long strip of T-shirt, spray it with a light coat of oil, and then thread it through the rail cutouts and buff the barrel.. takes a while but makes it shine really nice.

Re: AR cleaning question
take the upper off the lower and remove the BCG, throw it in the dishwasher and disable drying cycle. push start and go do something else for a while.
once clean, oil up and reassemble.

Re: AR cleaning question
I was thinking about using break cleaner but I'm trying to figure a good way to coat everything afterwards.
I like your idea LRS_Ranger but seems like that would take hours to buff everything lol.
You're more dedicated that I am, I guess I'm looking for the easy way out.

Quit being a slack ass and just pull the rail and be done with it.

Re: AR cleaning question
I learned that in basic training... had to make those barrels sparkle! Except that it's a lot easier to pull the bottom of the rail and do it. Still, if you are sitting around watching TV, is there much else better to be doing?
