To clean an AK-74, first ensure the weapon is unloaded and the magazine is removed. Disassemble the rifle by separating the gas tube, bolt carrier, and bolt from the receiver. Use a cleaning rod with a bore brush to scrub the barrel, followed by patches soaked in a suitable gun cleaning solvent. Finally, wipe down all metal parts with a cloth, applying light gun oil to protect against rust and ensure smooth operation.

Yes. The AK-74 is a 5.5mm assault rifle developed by the Soviet Union in the 1970s. Like the AK-47, it is named from the original manufacturer (Avtomat Kalashnikova, or Automatic Kalashnikov) and the year it entered production (1974). It was also designed as an upgrade from the AK-47 and AKM by Mikhail Kalashnikov himself.
