I have a question for those who own a APC 223. Since it's the upper receiver is aluminum, which bore brush is safer to use the nylon or bronze? I also plan to get the Lucas bore solvent which removes copper and carbon deposits. I heard that that the bronze brush is great for carbon and fouling but isnt ideal for copper removal solvents...

Bronze is 70-80% Copper. Stiff nylon is the way to go.
