Re: CAT M-4 Tool

Mine just arrived from Brownell's.

Now I have to get an AR bolt carbonized so I can try it out.

Dang - guess I'll just have to go shooting!

Just popped the bolt out of my AR and spent about 3 minutes on it, and removed all of the stubborn carbon!

The inside of the tool is shaped perfectly to accept the bolt and has sharp edges that chip the carbon off like butter!

I took this pic showing the carbon that came off of it. this was after just 300 rounds as it was clean before that.

I would highly recommend this tool to anyone who owns an AR platform weapon. :thumbs2:
Thanks for the report - I just ordered 2 - one for me and one as a gift for my son.

OK, now I've gotta get one.

Thanks. I'll have to look into getting one. Removing carbon from the bolt without a purpose designed tool is not my idea of fun.

Has anyone tried one of these tools? It looks like just the thing I need to clean the BCG on my AR. The carbon buildup on the bolt can be a bear to scrape off.
This tool cleans the bolt, Firing pin, and the carrier. It also has a 1/4" bit driver cut into it. And yes, it is made in the USA! :patriot:

I just ordered one from Brownells. I will review it after I use it!
That looks really interesting as a skeletal design with many functions.

I'll be looking forward to seeing your review.
