    No particular input on the cleaning but I would just like to say that I use the palm down method but I certainly don’t use my forefinger AND thumb.
    The Carbine has such a light recoil spring and short action, it’s pretty simple to just sling the bolt back with your forefinger.
    Even in the case of a slamfire, no body parts would be in the way with this method.
