No need to, and running a pipe cleaner through one is a good way to create an obstruction when the cleaner breaks off.

I'll wipe down the outside of it if I disassemble the rifle for any reason, but never clean the inside.
The amount of PSI going through the tube after each shot would clean anything out that needs cleaning, I suppose.
