If they do not have long enough ones I'm sure Brownells and Midway USA sell em. I think I got 100 long ones for like 3 bucks at Jo Ann Fabrics about a year ago. J- |

I have always thought the chance of the gastube getting blocked is not too likely but if I were to be sticking pipecleaners and other stuff down it it only raises the chance of problems.
I am lazy and have never "cleaned" the gastube other than pulling the trigger and things have been fine for me |

Gas tube does not need to be cleaned. It's self cleaning with about 30K psi of gas coming through it. |
I have used the "fuzzy sticks" from wally world, and I have also used some good ones I picked up at a gun show just for it. I normally wouldn't clean the gas tube, but I run a 5.45 upper, and the corrosive..... well you know A wet cleaner with windex, then a dry one
