BOLT CARRIER

[LUCKYB40]

This is a "Newbie" question: Just how clean does that bolt carrier need to be? Pulled the bolt out and saw an excessive amount of build up at "what I call the bottom" DPMS Oracle .308 / New / Fired 20 rounds throught it.

Thanks in advance for all infromation given.  This is the site to learn  <thumbsup>

Militarily, I was always taught that any buildup in there would make my weapon exlode and send me to the moon - I found out that was a lie.  You can dig all that stuff out of there if you want, or soak it with some foaming bore cleaner to make it a little easier.  The reality is:  your weapon has to have alot more going on to stop it up, because buildup in that area isn't gonna do it.  <thumbsup>

Same thing goes for the tail of the bolt...
