Carbon
(OP)
I'm a mechanical engineer but I am currently serving in the U.S. Army. After we come in from a field training exercise our machine guns have a lot of carbon build-up. To help accelerate the process of recovering our weapons I would like to use a hand held wire disc to remove the carbon. The piece of the gun that I would like to use the wire disc on is steel. My question is: What type of wire disc should I use to remove the carbon without damaging the bolt?

What does the US Army recommend?
Thought about a SOS pad? If it gets cooked on stuff off the pot, maybe carbon off your weapon?

Check with Brush Research. I have used their products and expertise in the past for several different purposes and found them good to work with. Google 'em.
A second option might be to contact someone like Olin who makes a lot of gunpowder. I'm just guessing but they would be likely to have a solvent or method worked out.
