I find my bolt after going to the range with Federal American Eagle 124gr so black. I used mean green like you, same scotch pad and I have to scrub and scrub to get that face where the firing pin is clean. I spray a ton of that mean green trying to break that carbon down. The channel down the side of the bolt I use pipe cleaners and its hard to get clean. Is the ammo I use really dirty ammo or something. Even when I rub on the face on the scotch pad it takes a lot of work to get that area clean. I'm trying to get it spotless. Am I doing something wrong? I lube it with ballistol when I'm done.
I find it rather easily to clean, never had an issue with carbon deposits. I shoot mainly Speer Lawman, seems to be some what clean for me. I also clean it anytime I use it, weather I shoot 1 round or 300 plus. I don't use anything but Lucas Extreme Duty gun oil when I am done. I smear it on the entire bolt.
@@hollowpointdefense I clean after every time I go to the range, usually the next day. Wonder if its the Federal Ammo because that black stuff sticks everywhere.
Thank you for what you do. I'm a new gun owner and I've learned a lot from you.
Thank you and you’re welcome.
Very helpful, thanks!
You're welcome.

Any news on the response? Or did you get rid of it?
Still have it, I will jump over to it this coming week. I actually like the Response better than the FPC.
