"Alright, here's the lower receiver. Once again, I'm using my brush. I'm just going to take it and I'm going to lightly give the insides here a brushing. Now another thing that this wire brush is going to help do is its going to help break some of that heavy grit that when you're shooting, not everything in your case, not all the black powder is going to burn off. Its combustible so when you go to eject your semiautomatic it ejects a shell, some of that gas and some of that black powder is going to blow back and its just amazing where these little fine particles can get inside your firearm. So we're just going to brush it up and wipe it down. Alright. And sometimes this is when I like to pull in my smaller toothbrush here, my light nylon brush. Its a little bit skinnier and I can get inside some of these parts and I can just give it a good scrub. And I'm not so worried about knocking anything loose, its just a real light old nylon toothbrush. Make sure to get inside of the trigger guard. And now that you've had everything coated with this brake free, you're just hoping that brake free work a little bit better. And next we're going to pickup and we're going to clean the barrel and the upper receiver."
