How do you clean an AK 74?

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.
