[ARCHIVED THREAD] - How to clean under float tube

Posted: 7/26/2007 4:06:34 PM EDT

I am new to ar's and just bought a rra predator with a rra freefloat handgaurd. I am wanting to know how to remove the free float tube to clean under it. I was hunting this weekend and it started to rain and I know there is moisture under there. If I remove the gas block and gas tube will the forearm just unscrew? will I have issues reinstalling it?

Thanks
HMBONE

PS. Just dont want to screw anything up

Hose it off with CLP and drip dry or blow it off with a air hose................you dont need to tale it apart. Use a garden hose and shoot it dry

Air compressor = clean

CPL = protect

Air compressor = dry

Gunscrubber is your friend. Will displace the moisture, then evaporate. CLP if you want, the excess will burn off (that smoke billowing out of the front of the tube).
