Make sure the firearm is unloaded, and the magazine is removed. Pull back the charging handle to eject any loaded rounds.
Remove the cleaning rod located at the front of the rifle below the barrel.
Remove the bolt cover by pressing the button on the back of the bolt cover forward. This may take a little jiggling, but mostly just use a constant pressure pulling the cover up and back (toward the comb and up).
Remove the bolt spring. Press the same button toward the front of the gun, sliding it out of its channel. Remove by pulling it backward.
Pull out the bolt and charging handle.
Use the cleaning kit tool to unlock the gas tube (the lever on the side of your rear sight). The lever should be pointing at a right angle to the barrel.
Remove the gas tube.
At this point, you may clean your firearm with various solvents or oils. In my experience, Hoppe's gun oil is one of the best.
Perform these steps in reverse order to re-assemble your firearm. If you get stuck, find an online forum to assist you.
