I recently saw some posts on another site where someone asked whether or not you should clean the gas tube on an AR-15...some years ago, someone told me that keeping it clean was a must, but many replies to the guy's question were that it is not necessary...is this true? I've only put about forty rounds through my AR, so it has not become an issue yet, but I would like to hear some opinions here on that...one guy said he had shot thousands of rounds without cleaning it without problems, another said a gas tube only costs ten bucks, so just replace it if it becomes a problem.That sounded a little out there, but I'm new to the AR platform, having owned mini-14s, AK-47s and the L1A1 and don't know of any quirks yet with the AR...
