I'm impressed. I knew it ran cleaner but the Bolt face looking like that after 1200 rounds is a big difference. Especially when I picture my Bolt after a couple of hundred rounds.
The problem will be Joe Snuffy thinking the Army issued him a maintenance free Weapon " Saaarg, Put the Q-Tips away, the directions say no cleaning necessary"
I totally agree. Any of the guys from LWRC will tell you, no extensive cleaning necessary. Personally I believe you should keep your weapons as close to 100% as possible. Part of showing up with your A game is having a well used, yet well maintained weapon. As much as I hate cleaning guns, I know that it will be less of a beating to get this one PM'd.
Can you give us a list of what you carry for the most common AR problems?
I carry punches, brass, steel, and delrin. Needle nose pliers. Hex wrenches. Stock wrench, Staking punch (for the castle nut... or windows I suppose) You cant stake the key on this bolt, its too hard. I also carry some cleaning gear, lube, solvent (that got cashed by the Suburban) spring kit, *will be adding a spare bolt. Screw driver, brass hammer. l'll be prepping a list soon and will pass that on to you if you like. Like I said, I've had several people ask me to set them up kits recently. To sum it up, whatever I might be able to use in a pinch to provide a quick fix to get the gun up. If its a major issue, it shouldn't be forced back into service without going to the bench for maintainence.
Sir, I was just about to ask. Unfortunately I have seen this type of accident a few times. If you ever witness this, you will never place you Equipment on the Ground again.
...it just happened so quick. It was so unbelievable, everyone was in shock. I couldn't help but laugh. I mean I have been tweaking the kit and evaluating what I'm carrying and how... couldn't have brought myself to do another PMAG vs CHEVY test willingly.
