Cleaning an AK

What do you guys do to clean the gas tube on your AK? I assume putting a little oil in it and some on the piston is good for the rifle, right?


And how about cleaning an AR? I can't figure how to take it apart completely.

From what I have read, you probably don't want to clean the gas tube unless you know what you are doing.

Take it to a gunsmith.

In the manual for my mini 14 it recommends that you only have a trained gunsmith clean the gas tube.


If you are dead set on doing it yourself it might help to download and read the manual.

Youre talking about the AR gas tube correct? Cause I can easyly get to my AK gas tube, but dont know the proper way to clean it.
