I've been an owner of a few ARs for a few years. I have always been under the assumption that its not really necessary to clean your gas tube. I was down at Bradis today picking up some cleaner and the guy behind the counter randomly mentioned "Don't forget to clean your gas tube!" I was sort of taken aback by the randomness of his comment, but I inquired to what he meant. He said its "REALLY IMPORTANT".
My assumption was that every time you shoot, it blows everything out of the tube back into the bolt/carrier/receiver. So why clean it?
What are everyone's thoughts around this?
