Cleaning an AR-15 barrel is a relatively simple process. First, you’ll need to gather some supplies:

• Barrel cleaner
• Bore brush or cleaning rod
• Patch holders
• Patches
• Q-tips or other cotton swabs

To clean the barrel, first wet a bore brush with barrel cleaner and insert it into the barrel.

Give the brush a few twists to coat it with cleaner.

Remove the brush and insert a patch holder.

Soak a patch in barrel cleaner and attach it to the patch holder.

Push the patch holder through the bore of the barrel until it comes out the other end.

Twist it a few times to help loosen up any debris.

Remove the patch and repeat the process until the patches come out clean.

Once the barrel is clean, you can move on to cleaning the rest of the firearm.

Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning your specific model of gun.
