MPX PCC - Clean & Lube Gas Plug/Piston?

Welcome to the forum.
I clean the plug every time I clean the gun. I also remove the barrel every time I clean. Much easier than cleaning it all as one assembly. Mind you I clean about every 500-600 rounds. Typically, that’s 2 range sessions. The plug has a very thin coat of oil. I haven’t had any caking issues.

Good info Ken, I was wondering the same thing as the OP. It's certainly easy enough to remove!!

MPXs seem to be very clean running guns. I take everything down once a year and clean it...maybe every 2000 rounds and have never had any cleanliness related issues. I punch the barrel more regularly like every 4-500 rnds. with quick brass brush four or five times with bore brite and then same with rem oil and a strip of cloth. but I do typically shoot the federal syntec ammo which is super non fouling.

Same as KenBry, I clean it everytime I clean the gun. Very light and wiped dry on any lube application. Hope that helps.
