Best way to clean out very tiny holes (threaded)?
I need to put a rail on my new Mark IV so I can then put a red dot on the rail. I'm going to use some purple loctite when I install the rail, but the factory filler screws were oiled so I need to get the threads clean before doing the install and applying the thread locker. How the heck do I clean such small holes? Cotton swabs are too big.
ETA: Found a good answer on the interwebs: pipe cleaners.

Greg, pipe cleaners ans acetone. The acetone will absorb the oils. It is the only think I use when degreasing something before Cerakoting it.

xringshooter has the right idea. The acetone will dissolve the oil and it evaporates very rapidly!
