AR10 gas tube cleaning.

[20wkorus]

What are some ways to clean a gas tube with completely disassembling the upper? Got a .308 I only shoot suppressed and the gas tube has gotten gunked up, sprayed some CLP down the BCG side of the gas tube and let it drain out the adjustment port on the gas block. Just curious on how others would handle this task.

If it's that bad and one of the common AR-15 lengths, I'd just replace it for under $15.

Gun scrubber down the tube. Follow up with pipe cleaner if that bad. Done this for 20yrs.
Stop spraying oil down the tube, prreeeaaaassssee! LOL

Was to the point where it was short stroking, but every since I ran CLP thru it it’s been cycling perfect again
