Rifle cleaning device and method of using

Abstract

An elongated weapon cleaning device defines apertures sized and shaped to receive and frictionally secure the stick portion of a cotton swab segment. Integrated hinges facilitate insertion of the stick and exertion of frictional holding forces on the stick. The cotton swab segment protrudes at an angle that permits access to all surfaces of a locking lug within the chamber of the weapon, and in particular the back surface of the locking lug which is particularly difficult to reach. A cotton swab segment can be inserted upwardly or downwardly into the aperture, thereby causing the cotton swab segment to protrude at an angle, or the corresponding supplementary angle, for each aperture.
