Thoughts?

I have had a few, and did smithing on a number as well. 90% of the time pulling the trigger group and spraying out the reciever/bolt will do the trick, as well as pulling the forearm to clean in under it.
If you want to get fancy and either do some of the bolt head lockig/over rotation upgrades, or really just go all out, you can pull the barrel, its more a PITA then technically challenging. Getting the barrel nut off can be a chore the first time if its never been off. I made up a few tools just to make it easier, but for regular cleaning, there is no need.
