I'll give you another tip , that you'll like .
at the front of the gas tube is a screw that has been peened into place , remove that screw, get a set screw that will fit in there or drill the hole out and re tap it to make one fit, screw it all the way in , and then fire a round , and back it off for each subsequent round untill the brass drops at your feet , undamaged and the action cycles normally
works great mine has had it done , and i can reuse my brass , no more mangled brass at all .Almost forgot , you'll also need some locktite (not the perm stuff) to keep the set screw from moving after you have it where you want it .
I don't get your way often enough anymore...I'm about 2 hours west.
For my Ammo, I hit up SFRC (Just north of Kingston)! They are fantastic to deal with...I bought my last privi 6.5x55 there...not too sure if there's any now but, they have a link (site-sponsor) on the above banner!

I've used Remington, S&B and Winchester super X through mine. Out of 60 rounds I've recovedered 3 cases. None we're in bad shape, it just flings the brass into the trees behind the range. (15 meters or so) I would like to reload for this one so it kind of sucks.
Instal a gas-regulator screw. Instructions above.
Screw the adjustment screw in until the thing is just popping the brass out and it is landing on the bench beside you. This is ALWAYS where any gas-op semi-auto will be at its most accurate.

place your safety in the middle and pull it out and slowly (watch out for the spring ) slide the slide backwards and it comes out , remove stock and you are in business . At least that is all i have ever done , . Then i blast out all the crap , with air and a good spray cleaner and let dry and oil it , reassemble in reverse and , go shoot again . Did I miss anything guys ?
I owned mine for 10 years before a 'smith showed me...bless the 'net.

I have 2 of them (had 3 ) and trust me , this trial and error thing, isn't all it's cracked up to be . First I had the sore finger to prove it (that action hurts) then I had the black eye from the spring (that sucker jumps right out at you )
then I tried re-assembling it and did the afore mentioned all over again , (different finger and eye this time) yeah, i can't really say it was fun , but friends sure got a laugh out of it. This btw was years ago, and i'd never seen one of these things before, no manual, no nothing , just a bet, that i couldn't take it apart, clean it , and put it back together, and survive in one piece and 3 hours to do it in . I came in at 2 hrs 45 minutes and REASONABLY intact (sore fingers and black eyes, and a couple of decent cuts.I have the field strip down pretty well and the sore thumb was from trying to de-#### the hammer instead of dry firing it. That dust cover spring is strong, it pushed the rifle!
I was asking more about a full dissassembly, taking the wood off and the trigger assembly out, etc.
Thanks.

Honestly, once you have the stock off and the bolt out etc.... the rest is easy, just look it over , take your time and remember, what you did before you do it
They are actually an easy rifle to mess around with , accurate to a fault, , the best to "play" with when it comes to working up loads, simply because commercial loads don't even come close to what these babies can do. Just watch out for that dang spring , forwards and backwards, it is evil, created to frustrate and maim !!! 
Regarding brass flying all over the place - although I have never owned, fired or even seen one of these AG42B's fired - I saw someone at the range the other day with I believe an M14 - and to keep his brass from flying all over, he simply laid a small towel over the rifle. Apparently the towel doesn't get "sucked into" the action and all the casings fall onto the shooting bench. Perhaps the rifle was scoped and the towel made a "little tent" over the rifle.
