If you can get your hands on some break cleaner it works very well for cleaning without completely disassembling anything. You must give everything a light coat of oil afterwards because the break cleaner strips all traces of oil, leaving steel unprotected and able to rust easily.
@WSGAC I know I know but this is less fiddly & a quick flush & lube is easier than a stripdown every time I use the rifle. I don't spray everwhere, with a delicate finger control I just coat the outside & flush the inside, any run off is collectected to use as lube for lathe turning.
So, I've heard that the cardinal no-no of solvents and lubricants is WD-40 because it leaves a gummy residue at very high temperatures (after firing).
.
Does your Brunox get rid of the problem entirely, or do you find some trouble still?
I do this before putting the rifle away in the cabinet while everythings still soft.
The toothbrush is a good idea.
I'll look around for a bigger container for the overspray to drip into (I use it as a lathe work lube as well) so I can dip a toothbrush into, yes a good idea.
brunox is one of the best sprays of this planet.

@AngeredKabar Used for cleaning silencers as well. Good but expensive.

Why don't you just disassemble the bolt and bypass oil spraying everywhere. Disassemble is easy and quick.

Petrol works for cleaning if you cannot locate a proper gun solvent. Then oil it with a good gun oil or really lightweight oil.

@Jrhoney Petrol is a good alternative.

@ffnovice7 Not noticed anything like that with Brunox, I've also got a can of Napier, I'll have to give that a tryout.

nice video. I prefer using both WD-40 and an old toothbrush to really scrub dirt off the extractors channels & ejector channel.
I've cut it to size as to reach into the extractors recesses into the breech, and give a nice rubbing to the bolt rails.
