I have a Savage Model 110 .30-06 bolt action and I can't seem to be able to get the chamber clean. I can clean the barrel with no problem but getting a brush and patches into the chamber to give it a good cleaning seems dang near impossible. I clean from the breech and use a rod guide when cleaning the barrel. I removed the rod guide to give better access to the chamber but I still have difficulty.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Are you referring to the back portion of the barrel where the cartridge is "chambered"?
Yes. It is not rifled like the barrel is.
a larger bristle brush on the cleaning rod than what you use for the bbl should work, with solvent. if it's real bad and caked on, if you can see it and reach it with something like a dental pick, it may have to be scraped off. let the solvent sink in a while but watch the bluing.
That spot gets a lot of fouling. You can do like Nacho said. Also get a short piece of a cleaning rod and a brass brush and put it in your cordless drill and brush the fouling out
