We were getting failure to chamber/seat the round fully malfunctions. At the time it was explained to me by an 18B we had near our FOB that this was due to carbon build up in the chamber caused by the "overly corrosive ammo we were firing". I took his word for it as I didn't have much experience with the 107. You guys seem to be in aggreement that M8 anf Mod 211 mod 0 isn't corrosive so I either mis understood what he told me or he was wrong. That being said once I gave the chamber a little more TLC with some Sweet's it seemed to not happen as often. Thanks for the knowledge guys.
