Thanks for the advice, gentlemen! I'm glad I asked

You can buy a long pipe cleaner type ar tube cleaner .
I think I got the two I have from midway shooters supplies .
Like Ak says lube dose wonders .

I'll tell you first hand you better clean that Ak47 after shooting that nasty ass ammo .
I had 1 freeze up in me and had to beat it apart .
After that I clean my gun after a trip to the range .

Yeah I try my best to avoid corrosive ammo.

For the AR I'm guessing how clean the tube stays also depends on the type of ammo you're using? I was talking to a buddy of mine and he told me his gas tube clogged up after shooting about 250-300 rounds of PMC.

I seriously doubt the gas tube clogged up. It was probably a lack of lubrication which failed to cycle the bolt. Happens all the time.

That makes sense, especially considering this particular buddy isn't the worlds greatest at taking care of his guns.
