I had a buddy bring me his that would not cycle, I removed the tube and could not blow through it with my mouth so put the compressed air to it and a chunk of carbon (I assume) shot out like a bullet. Only one time I have ran into this but it can happen.

I spray the tube out every so often with carb cleaner.

Only one time I have ran into this but it can happen. I’ve had a partially blocked gas tube before. That’s why I keep spare gas tubes on hand. Likely faster to just replace it. |

While at the range, Spray some carb cleaner down the tube and then work a section of wire down the tube, trying your best to scrape out the inside.
Load up a mag full of super sonic ammo and blast. If none of that works, replacing the tube is probably the best bet. |

Given the current cost and availability of ammo, od just replace the gas tube.

Tube are like $10. If you're trying to clean it you might as well remove the tube and replace it at that point.
