This having been my first experience with an AK I would like to find out how I could have avoided scratching the gun when I removed the upper fore end (gas tube) when pushing the slide release up? Also happens with the safety latch.

Don't worry about it. It acknowledges to others you know how to maintain proper care and cleaning.

The gas tube latch and safety latch marks are just part of the AK experience. Learn it, love it. :)

There is probably not an AK variant in existence that doesn't have those two scratches.
I don't know of anything that you could put under the gas tube lock or safety that would protect the finish, wear so that it lasts more than a lever movement or two, and still allow you to move the lever.
