Abstract
An adapter tip for cleaning an area around a gas tube entrance into the upper receiver of an AR rifle uses an AR charging handle of the AR rifle as an insertion handle for the adapter tip. The adapter tip includes an adapter tip body having a first leg and a second leg extending at an angle from the first leg. The first leg has a notch in a first leg interior surface shaped to accept a forward angled section of an AR charging handle. A forward extension portion of the adapter tip has a first extension end and a second extension end. One or more forward posts are mechanically coupled to and extend forward from the second extension end of the forward extension portion. A method to clean an area around a gas tube entrance into an upper receiver of an AR rifle is also described.
