cleaning AR-15 gas tube

I cant believe someone would let a gun get that bad and be ok with it. Thats crazy. When I read this post earlier, it motivated me to go clean my AR.

If you will PM me your e-mail address I will send you a pdf copy of the M16A2/M4 operators manual. In the Maintenance section it will show you how to take the BCG apart and also how to remove the buffer & buffer spring.

I'd appreciate it. [email protected]

Don't stick anything in the gas tube.

It was sent this morning. Let me know if you did not get it.

I'm guessing he's not a guy that "is ok" with the gun being dirty, but this is more like the torture tests with the Glock, proving that an AR doesn't have to be spotless to run.

That's awesome. I would be proud if I got my weapon that dirty. Some people like to use their guns instead of take pretty pictures of them for the internet. (before anyone gets sand in their V that was not directed at anyone just a comment in general)

Oh yeah.... No need to clean a gas tube.

Maybe movies help perpetuate the myth.

While in the Army, we ran a torture test on M-16s, shooting blanks and live rounds to the point that the rifle was so dirty you could not pull the charging handle to the rear. One of us held the rifle, butt on the ground, while another soldier buttstroked the charging handle. Then the weapon would continue to function normally. I cannot recall the exact round count but I know we went over 10K in live rounds and close to 3K using blanks. It hurt me every time I would bring that rifle back and turn it in to the arms room. I really wanted to clean it.
