I will sound dumb, but I recently have gotten into AK shooting with an Arsenal 5.45x39 and a Saiga 308. I have acquired large amounts of surplus ammo for both of them. I beleive that some or all the surplus ammo is corrosive. I read the label on Hoppes #9 and it says good for corrosive ammo cleaning. The barrels of these weapons are spotless and bright and I clean them and oil them up after each use but how do I clean the little gas port and the gas tube above the barrel to be sure the evil rust devil doesn't destroy my rifles? I use 45 cal patches and brushes in the top tube where the piston rides and thoroughly clean the piston, bolt and related parts but how do I know the actual gas port is safely cleaned? Thanks all for your input/answers.
