How to clean an ak 47?

Answer 1

If you don't have the manual, find a gunsmith and ask for help

If you own one, look at the back of the receiver plate (right in front of your face if held against your shoulder) there should be a button. Press that button and remove the receiver cover (it should either come right off or be hinged at the front and swivel open, depending on the model) Press that same button again and the recoil assembly should come out, after that the charging handle/ls piston should come off easily, pull off the gas tube (upper half of the handguard) and clean the inside of it. Run a bore snake through the barrel, and clean out the internals. If you've been shooting some corrosive ammo (wolf, tula, etc) it's a good idea to clean the inside of your gun with some soapy water and maybe a bit of bleach. There should be some YouTube videos on it.
