clean debris out of bolt

[RT Lover]

Air just isn't doing it, can I douse it with rubbing alcohol?

[Cyco-Dude]

i use a q-tip with rubbing alcohol. you may have to pull a bit of cotton off to get it to fit though.

You can use anything you want inside the bolt. Water and detergent works well. It breaks down any oily film. Use a Q-tip or something similar to provide a scrubbing surface if the debris won't budge.

wash it off after you use alcohol. If there is alcohol left on it, it can induce rust inside the body or on the bolt spring.

very hot running water and dawn work well.
