More awesome advice , thanks so much. Will be definitely getting a note snack after using the kit! I will for times of more heavy use. I will also look into the bolt brush, that would definitely make that area easier to clean. I am meticous in my cleaning, It is just who I am. Creating good habits is important and regular fields tripping practice is also very important- cleaning after every trip to the range does this.
I LOVED shorting the AR and wish it could be my EDC!! I am enjoying the heck outta it!!!

Thanks everyone! Now I just need to remember to wear long sleeves next time and everything will be great! Got burns all up and down my arm from the brass is there a owie smiley?

I love my bore snake for my 45 but they were out for my ar size

I do not have a bore guide, did not come with my kit and was not listed in instructions listed in the book that came with my rifle. Should I quit (have only run rags through at this point until I have one? I realize it is not that dirty but I find regular cleaning gets me more intimate and comfortable with my rifle and is a good habit to get into. Would have shot a lot more if the ammo wasn't so so dang expensive!

I recently purchased a bushmaster ar15 model xm15-e2s

I was finally able to get it sighted int today and put about 20 bullets through it. So I am trying to clean it tonight and I have a universal gun cleaning kit. What bore brush size do I use? .270br or .22br? I don't want damage it by using the wrong brush. I also have a .17br but that seems too small.

Thanks for the help!
