And if there were build up, how would one go about clearing it? I can see .080 weed eater line disturbing carbon and creating a blockage.

And or Clandestine’s comment, I don’t have THAT much AR experience (Gerri Amy not nearly as much as he does), but the tube and block are under a LOT of pressure. It is self cleaning to a large degree. You are a lot more likely to erode the gas port long before you are likely to suffer blockages of the tube. Unless something gets in there that should be there, like sand or something.
One semi exception is 22lr converted ARs (not 22lr native as those have no gas port!). The unjacketed rounds can end up leading up the gas port after a couple/few hundred rounds. This is not a concern with anything other than a 22lr conversion and even with a conversion it won’t be an issue unless you convert it back to .223 and try firing it.

dont be a dumbass
So you are saying that resting the rifle on the mag was what was causing the original issue?
or you encountered a new feeding issue related to resting the rifle on the mag, but dod not encounter the original issue?

No. the original issue was caused by lack of lubrication. The manufacturer said lube was not required and I foolishly believed them. Perhaps after there are a couple thousand rounds through the weapon and the parts have mated together lube will no longer be required, but I plan to lightly lube anyway, just like I do for my handguns.
Resting on the mag caused double feeding.
