Yep, not only does the gas, but all the crud makes its way down the gas tube and into the receiver. AK's tend to have lower manufacturing tolerances, reduces accuracy but improves reliability somewhat.
I'm just now playing around with my first AK variant, a Romanian PSL, and it is a breeze to clean compared to an AR.
