My question is: will it eventually plug up completely? If so, Is there a good way of cleaning it without removing my gas block? Thanks for any and all info guys!

i use the borescope to line up the hole in the gasblock to hole in barrel—if you did have to clean it - would be a quick easy job.View attachment 1172799 This borescope pic from my PSA stainless 18” upper in 224 Valkyrie shows that is partially blocked. I use medium charges of CFE223 and a 80SMK. It shoots wonderful groups and functions fine.

That was after cleaning the boreJust to confirm, the pic was taken after a range session and before any cleaning?
It is not an adjustable gas portI had to get adjustable gas blocks to turn down the Overgassing problems
At least ya don't have to do that.
Or do you run an adjustable?
If so, maybe the hole built up to just the same flow rate the gas block volume will allow?
No, I use Eliminator and occasionally IossoLooks like residual cleaning materials. Do you use a spray foam cleaner like Wipeout ?
If you have compressed air, shoot some down the gas tube. That looks wet still, likely just collected barrel sludge from the cleaning process.That was after cleaning the bore
I use brake cleaner once a year. Then run a patch down the barrel.If you have compressed air, shoot some down the gas tube. That looks wet still, likely just collected barrel sludge from the cleaning process.
