I took it to the range for the first time today. I shot one 30 round clip and smoke started coming from every where. Is this just the oil heating up?
Yes, see the youtube video where the guy starts his AK on fire.

I also noticed a strange gas-like smell while firing. Is that normal
Firing roungs of ammunition is the result of cumbustion and this gives off many gasses and lots of heat that in turn causes wood and oils/shellacs to vaporize/burn/melt releasing more fumes.

Is this your first time shooting that many rounds of centerfire ammo?
