Abstract

A cleaning tool set is used to clean carbon build-up from a breech plug. The cleaning tool set includes a first tool configured to remove the carbon buildup from the primer pocket and intermediate flash channel of the breech plug and a second tool configured to remove carbon buildup from the flash hole of the breech plug.

1 . A breech plug cleaning tool comprising:
 a first tool having a first handle operatively connected to a first cleaning shaft, wherein said first cleaning shaft has first flutes; and   a second tool having a second handle operatively connected to an extension shaft, wherein a second cleaning shaft extends from a distal end of said extension shaft, and wherein said second cleaning shaft has second flutes.   
     
     
         2 . The breech plug cleaning tool of  claim 1 , wherein said first tool further includes a cleaning shoulder extending from said first handle, said cleaning shoulder positioned about at least a portion of said first cleaning shaft. 
     
     
         3 . The breech plug cleaning tool of  claim 2 , wherein said cleaning shoulder includes at least one slot formed through a thickness thereof. 
     
     
         4 . The breech plug cleaning tool of  claim 1 , wherein said first handle is selectively secureable to said first cleaning shaft such that said first handle is securingly positionable along a length of said first cleaning shaft. 
     
     
         5 . The breech plug cleaning tool of  claim 4 , wherein said first handle is selectively secureable to said first cleaning shaft by a set screw. 
     
     
         6 . The breech plug cleaning tool of  claim 1 , wherein said second handle is selectively secureable to said extension shaft such that said second handle is securingly positionable along a length of said extension shaft. 
     
     
         7 . The breech plug cleaning tool of  claim 6 , wherein said second handle is selectively secureable to said extension shaft by a set screw. 
     
     
         8 . A breech plug cleaning kit comprising:
 a first tool having a first handle operatively connected to a first cleaning shaft, wherein said first cleaning shaft has first flutes, and wherein said first handle includes a cleaning shoulder; and   a second tool having a second handle operatively connected to a second cleaning shaft, wherein said second cleaning shaft has second flutes.   
     
     
         9 . The breech plug cleaning kit of  claim 8 , wherein said second cleaning shaft extends from a distal end of an extension shaft, and said second handle being positionally adjustable along a length of said extension shaft relative to said second cleaning shaft. 
     
     
         10 . The breech plug cleaning kit of  claim 9  further comprising a set screw for selectively securing said second handle to said extension shaft. 
     
     
         11 . The breech plug cleaning kit of  claim 8  further comprising a set screw for selectively securing said first handle to said first cleaning shaft.
