"Cleaning G3s is no fun. The locking roller recesses are just an iron-clad biotch to deal with. Otherwise, it's no sweat. "

The locking roller recesses are easy to clean with a toothbrush. I follow that up just by reaching in with my finger and a patch and wiping cleaning residue out. Then follow with finger/patch with lube of choice. Simple. Hmmm. I have long, skinny fingers. Others may have trouble getting in there?

And the fluted chamber cleans nicely with a .45 nylon brush. The nylon bristles can be reversed (back & forth), and that cleans the chamber nicely.
