M-Pro 7 on toothbrush, scrub to loosen grime, then wipe off with a rag. Repeat if necessary. Use dental picks to scrape off the stuff that cannot be wiped off. Once the big stuff has been wiped off, use M-Pro 7 on Q-tips to get to hard to reach places and scrub til' the q-tips start coming out clean... It takes me about half a box sometimes. Now for the most important part, lube down the parts. Pay special attention to areas that show wear since this will indicate where it needs to get lubed. The oil can be applied using a q-tip... this also gives you another chance at inspection. If the q-tip comes out dirty then looks like you need to clean it some more. Take it from a grunt that's been in the sandbox, you can't clean your AR enough! You won't hurt it and no you can't overclean it.
I have to admit that my method takes lots of patience. But overtime, you'll get use to it. For me, it's actually become therapeutic and relaxing. But then again that's just me. I keep all my guns clean. I don't feel like I can fully rely on them when they're not... which makes me feel like crap.
