DETAILED CLEANING TECHNIQUES (continued)…
5.) Attach the handle section of the cleaning rod to the end of the rod sticking
out of the muzzle.
6.) Pull the brush through the bore and out the muzzle. You should be able to
see the rod twisting as you pull it - this is the brush "tracking" in the rifling. Never
reverse the direction of the bore brush while it is in the bore.
7.) After one pull, take off the handle section and repeat the process. After
three or four pulls, the three rod sections and the bore brush may become
screwed tightly together. Loosen them up and repeat the process.
8.) Send a patch through the bore occasionally to help clean out the crud that
the brush is getting loose. Just replace the bore brush with the rod tip (patch
holder) and a wet patch. Pull it through. If you leave the rods loose again, the
patch will "track" in the rifling as before. But remember, always have the bore
wet with cleaner before trying to pull a brush through.
CLEANING THE UPPER RECEIVER…
NOTE: Check to ensure that there is no looseness between the Barrel
and the Upper Receiver - if you detect any movement by twisting with your
hands, the barrel nut must be retorqued. Bring the Rifle to a qualified
gunsmith.
1.) Using a “CLP“ type product, clean all areas of Powder Fouling,
Corrosion, Dirt and Rust. Never use a wire brush or any type of abrasive to
clean the Aluminum Upper Receiver - you'll scratch and damage the finish.

2.) Clean the Firing Chamber - dip the larger chamber cleaning brush in CLP and use at least
five plunge strokes and three 360 clockwise rotations. Then swab out the bore as described
previously to remove any contaminated solution or loosened crud.
3.) Use the bore cleaning brush, still wet with CLP, and clean carbon and powder residue from
around the gas tube, run a pipe cleaner into the gas tube, clean the bolt locking lugs, bolt rings,
firing pin, bolt cam pin, lip of the extractor, and inside the bolt carrier from both front and rear.
4.) Wipe all components clean and dry, and inspect
for excessive wear, corrosion or mechanical damage.
Replace any defective parts before firing again (call
us at 1-800-998-SWAT for any parts needs.)
CLEANING THE LOWER RECEIVER…
1.) Clean all areas of Powder Fouling, Corrosion, Dirt
and Rust. Again, never use a wire brush or any type of
abrasive to clean the Aluminum Lower Receiver.
2.) Wipe any dirt from the Trigger Mechanism. Clean
the Buffer, Action Spring, and inside
the Lower Receiver Extension
(the Buffer Tube).
