For those super small holes I just grab a whisker on my wooden handled wire brush with a pair of pliars and yank out one. Can't beat the price.

steve -
Those little center fire zinger Hornady varmint rounds are .17 caliber and a BB/pellet gun is .177, and that's about as small as it gets. After that, you're looking at the drill bits like John T suggests.

As for hunting varmints with a .17 Hornady, they have a lot of velocity, but I've had groundhogs get thrown 10 feet after a center of mass hit from 100-200 yards with a .223 or .22-250 and run away. Guess you need to go for head shots -- and be really, really good with a .17.

I'm with Bob N.W. Ohio; pipe cleaners work well. As you're obviously a "reach out and touch someone" kind of shooter I'm certain you've heard of Brownell's (www.brownells.com). They sell a brand of pipe cleaners that are normal in size and flexibility but also have very stiff nylon bristles intermingled with the cotton strands. Should work great for those small openings....works great on the bolt gas port and firing pin opening in an AR-15!
And remember: Blaming firearms for violent crime is like blaming spoons for Rosie O'Donnell being fat!!!

Thanks Steve for the tip, I have some similar type small bore cleaning brushes around the farm and seems like they would be good for cleaning out any pasages of their size. I use the long aircraft No 44 and No. 53 bits (bought from Roberts, they are the right size for those passages as shown on his web site) for the drill bit passages and MIG welding wire or steel guitar strings for the other smaller holes n ports etc. The center vertical brass nozzle and holes I just wire brush the exterior and clean those real small side holes best I can with air and whatever. Im hoping my addign 2 cycle oil to the gas may prevent future rust clogs for some time. Take care, Ol John T Nordhoff
