Was cleaning my AK's today- the only one to get the bronze brush treatment was the Maadi (top). The Saiga was not dirty enough and no brush will ever touch the type 56!!! But… The Maadi was incredibly dirty with loads of carbon build up all over the bolt carrier. Im not sure what type of finish is on the Maadi- is it just a thinned out blued finish at this point? I began scrubbing away with my brush… The spot marked on the bolt carrier was already bare as shown- but I noticed that my bronze brush only removed more finish. Should I omit using any types of metal brushes in the future? I usually use a regular tooth brush but if there is lots of build up then I do break out the bronze brush. In my mind, not a huge issue for this rifle specifically as it is a post ban converted ARM that already has an incredibly worn finish (as most Maadi's do)- I suppose it only adds to the aesthetic at this point
