    Remove handguards. Remove gas plug and piston, spring.
    Unscrew the gas regulator sleeve (spring tension on this)
    Unscrew nut securing rear of gas tube.

    Drive out gas tube retaining cross pin..(this pin is about 40 50 thousands in dia.) (front of gas tube..under gas regulator sleeve)

    Unscrew gas tube.

    Do you want to remove the gas tube from the rifle or do you simply want to take out the gas piston for cleaning?
    just clean, there is a sight adaptatuer on the front of the gas chamber do I remove it? or leave it alone

    No need to touch the front sight but directly in front and below the sight assembly you will see a sort of round plug. This plug varies between FALs and Century was known to use whatever they had laying around in the pile but generally somewhere near the edge of the plug will be a small release button/plunger. Depress this button with a punch or the tip of a bullet and you will be able to twist and remove the plug, usually going clockwise. When the plug is free the piston will pop out of the gas tube and can be cleaned and then reinstalled.
    Thank you for the info you seem to know alot about these particuler weapons, I'll give a try.

    As I stated in another post, go to gunthings.com and take a look at the various assemblys. While they do not specifically address the Century model, for all intents and purposes, it will show you what you need to see. With the exception of magazines and a few minor parts virtually all FAL parts are interchangable with minimal fitting. As stated above, DON'T try to unscrew the gas tube with out removing the pin. You will mess it up!
