Anyone have sugestions on cleaning the interior barrel locking lug areas on a 308 semi? I've seen cloth chamber stars, regular chamber brushes, and a tool that compresses patches and then lets them expand in that area - What is your best way?

Go to an auto parts store and buy a can of brake cleaner. Point the barrel down and spray the crap out of it. You will be SURPRISED at how clean it will become. Then dry patch it out and you'll be GTG.

Carb cleaner does work.
I just picked up the Dewey Chamber kit to use on both the AR10 and my 700.

I though about carb or brake cleaner, but it's a stainless precision barrel, and not clear about the ramifications - I've only used those on chrome lined ar ones before.

A chamber brush works great. You can get them in nylon also.
A chamber mop also works good I have been told.
The mops and brush clean both the chamber and the lugs.

Iosso makes some good brushes for that, wrap them in a patch and use their AR15 kit with AR10 accessories. Good stuff from Iosso.
