Brushing the Bolt Face of a Springfield XD 9mm Handgun

Video Transcript

"Then I'm going to do the same thing here, with my bolt face. I'm actually going to stay using my steel brush here. I'm going to clean this real good because this is where a lot of the action happens. This is where our firing pin engages the primer in our cartridge, this is where our ejector seats that help eject the spent casing out of our firearm and away from us. This is what helps make another round go in the battery when we're out at the range shooting. I'm going to make sure this is cleaned up real good. I'm going to make sure I'm getting up under the inside of this ejector here. It's just got a little bitty lip and I'm going to use my screwdriver here to kind of point it out. This ejector, right here that my screwdriver's touching, we're going to make sure we scrub under there right where the blade is. We going to make sure we get under there with our steel or brass brush. We're going to kind of just turn it on it's side here. You don't need to do it a lot, this light steel brush will do a pretty good job in a short amount of time. I've got the bottom of this slide scrubbed up real good. What I'm going to do now is I'm going to take my nylon brushes and I'm going to kind of, I'm going to do the same thing, but I'm going to work my way around the outside of the slide."
