Remove fouling carbon deposits from firing pins, extractors, and bolt faces with the Indigo™ 22574 stainless steel gunsmithing tool; trusted by military armorers for reliable weapon maintenance.
Carbon buildup in critical firearm mechanisms causes malfunctions, failures to extract, and light primer strikes that compromise weapon reliability. Traditional cleaning brushes and patches can't effectively reach extractor grooves, firing pin channels, and bolt face recesses where carbon accumulates. The Indigo™ 22574 precision pick addresses this with a straight pointed tip for deep channel cleaning and a right-angle tip that's ideal for scraping carbon from bolt faces and extractor claws without gouging metal surfaces. This tool has proven popular with military armorers (including US Marines units) who need reliable tools for maintaining service weapons. The tool's medical grade stainless steel resists gun cleaning solvents and can be autoclaved for armory sanitation protocols.
Indigo™ dental tools are made with AISI 410 German surgical grade stainless steel, not "alloy steel" made from rusted cars. We've been selling dental tools on-line since 1998. Ours stay sharp longer & are autoclavable: see Documentation below that confirms chromium & manganese content.
Apply appropriate gun cleaning solvent to the carbon deposits. Use the straight tip to work into firing pin channels and small ports, using gentle scraping motions. Switch to the right-angle tip for bolt faces and extractor grooves, holding the tool at a low angle to prevent scratching hardened steel surfaces. Work systematically, wiping the tool clean frequently. Inspect your progress with good lighting or magnification. Follow manufacturer guidelines regarding tool use on specific firearm finishes or coatings.
Need an ultrafine tool to clear clogged nozzles or microfilters? Insect pins may be a practical alternative. Our unique 100 pin sampler package has 10 pins in 10 thicknesses, all made with grade 316 stainless steel.
