I picked up one of these critters: http://www.gngtools.com/ and polish the tail when cleaning.
I'm pretty anal about keeping the bolt clean and wet too. I have both Gunzilla and CLP on my bench. The GF refuses to use anything but Gunzilla do to her sensitive nose. I do any hard chemical cleaning when she's not around.
I want to thank the members for all the insight, tips and wisdom passed along in this thread.
The AR community beyond just me has been well served.
