Its more of piston guide then a gas tube....An AK will function without the tube in place.

I’m having the same problem in both of my AK. After shooting corrosive ammo I clean whole rifle with hot water. A day later there were rust in the gas tube, so I clean it again and sprayed plenty of Rem oil into it. But a few hours later there rust in it again!

Use Ballistol/Water mix. Problem solved. I never see a speck of rust. |

Spray the barrel and gas tube inside and out with household ammonia or Windex. This will neutralize the corrosive salts , then clean with hot soapy water.

Home depot sells the brushes for cleaning dryer vents. I shorten and reglue than handles . Use them for AK gas tubes among other things.
Try blowing dry with compressed air or blow drier after washing. |
