How one clean the gas tube? Im building an ar and cant find any vids about the gas tube Im sure there is carbon build up in there. you just don't clean it?
@blasvida68 under NO condition should you EVER attempt to clean the gas tube. The pressure generated in the tube is sufficient to blast all of that nasty crap into the chamber, where is gums up the works. You run a huge risk of rendering your firearm useless if you attempt to clean the gas tube.
Users of the M16/AR15 platforms better be damn familiar with cleaning their rifles, and doing it constantly, otherwise the firearm craps out and becomes a jamming piece of useless junk. If you need a rifle to trust your life with, then its the AK47 FOR THE WIN!! AR15's = shelf queens FOR DISPLAYING IN THE RIFLE CABINET!! AK47 = ALPHA MALE KING that you CAN to trust your life with.
@nathan00campbell you dont need to get ALL the black off. you just need the clumps of carbon build up. dug out. so if theres some black smudges thats fine. its better to wipe it off but your rifle will function with just some black on it.
AHHHAHAHA!! I'm leaning over my brand new AR (new to the platform), and I get a good chuckle from the beginning. Also that caused a ND and my flatscreen is now ruined.
way too much lube and you missed some spots... spend MORE time on the bolt and INSIDE the bolt and the tubes, and gas rings.... all the rest can stay dirty and no problems.... tens of thousands of rounds
If I scratched my bolt should I get a new one? I've got a bushmaster xm15. It also looks like you are using quite a bit of lubricant. Is It ok if I take a dab on my finger and rub everything down then put it all back together and then put it back in my rifle?
@TTBlackOPS If you don't know what you're talking about, don't speak. There is nothing wrong with using a cleaning rod in a chrome lined barrel. Chrome lined barrels are actually MORE durable than the SS barrels that most rifles have. As long as you're not taking a steel cleaning rod and purposely gouging and scratching it on the rifling, you'll be fine.
@accushot9999 He is right to a point dude. unless you are shooting wolf all day you don't need a rod, a bore snake will work way more than adequate. If you are going to use a rod you should use a rod guide, the chrome lined are anti corrosive, they aren't necessarily stronger. When I was in the Infantry we shot 1000's of rounds and never used a cleaning rod, a bore snake was good enough and cut a few ounces of weight.
Seriously a soaked bore snake in a baggy was good enough.
@SOLDERBOY69 I get what you mean, I think people put too much emphasis on cleaning the bore of AR rifles when they should be focusing on parts like the chamber and the BCG. Unless you're a match shooter with handloads and a custom stainless steel barrel, you can get away with a CLP soaked bore snake for cleaning the bore. Really, it takes a ridiculous amount of rounds without cleaning before you'll notice a drop in accuracy in a chrome lined barrel.
@accushot9999 I picked up a CAT4 tool before I bought my Fail Zero kit and it was a great tool to throw in a pocket! It is the smallest and best I found for cleaning the entire BCG I was impressed with the job it did and how quick it did it. It was by far the best tool in its class I used in a long time for a real dirt BCG. Was pricey though at 35 bucks but I highly recommend it.
@neckcranker310 sorry dude, pink towels are a must have for any gun owner. its the ONLY way to properly protect your kitchen table for gun maintenance. tell your mom i'll call her soon ;)
im new to the ar-15 and the thing i really don't like is theres no set rule as to how to clean and what to use....that bothers me since i like to have exactly what i need and know exactly what i need to do...I read that you don't want your barrel wet yet you say you kept a thing coating of oil in your barrel. Is that ok? Also The brush the store gave me said it was a .22 brush but it fits a 5.56 chamber as well..i went to put it through and it wasn't going through..im not trying to force...help
@devdawgez55 I agree it can be frustrating trying to figure out the right way to care for your new firearm. Let me first say that the instructions provided here are the combined opinions of myself and Jaybeesworld.
I'll first address the brush. The brush you purchased for .22 caliber will fit your 5.56mm/.223 rem. Keep in mind a brush made for .22 is only 3 thousandths of an inch different than .223, hardly a noticeable difference.
@nsm526 - Thanks a lot for your feedback! I enjoy the vids and appreciate the speedy response to my Q...I'll deffinitely be following your future plans on youtube. Good luck and thanks again!
The oil is good for your barrel. A light coating will prevent rust, and acts like pan spray on a skillet. It prevents the carbon fouling from being able to stick in your barrel and buildup, making future cleanings easier. Too much oil can attract dust, which is where the "oil is bad" argument is derived. As long as it isn't literally dripping out of the barrel, you will be fine.

@robodisky I sure do know how to take apart the collapsible stock and will be posting a video as soon as my new stock arrives! Basically, if you imagine that you squeeze the lever towards the buffer tube to change positions, you push the lever away from the tube to take the stock completely off. It may feel like you are breaking it or the lever isn't designed to do this but I assure you it is and all manufacturers I've looked at explain this is the recommended way to dissasemble the stock.
I realize the editing in this video may be somewhat choppy. The combo of the jag and the bronze brush will do a pretty decent job of cleaning the inside of the chamber, and for the outside I use the nylon brush. I've read some pretty good reviews on "chamber stars" - those star shaped cleaning patches designed for the M16 chamber but I have yet to try them for myself. You can also buy caliber-specific chamber brushes. Thanks for the comment!

You can do all this or just buy a fail Zero and never have to clean your AR again. Or your 1911 or your AK.
