The post whore thread.

[jreifsch80]

Mike with all my ak's I have switched between Tula and brass yugo m67 many times in a day and have never have problems though ak's in general don't mind running dirty, I've dropped ammo in the dirt while loading mags and literally loaded them in the mags dirty and still have never had extraction problems

Isn't that is what the whole allure is about, being super reliable through the worse conditions?

So i'm expecting an answer on this in the morning... But are you saying that shooting steel-cased only (not mixed with brass) through an AR would not cause any extra wear and tear?

if your gonna switch things around... shoot the brass first and shoot the steel last... I can't really say anything about wear and tear on the chamber and bolt.... but I think your extractor will feel it the worst

I remember when i tried doing all the wrong things (brass and then steel and then brass and then steel) with my old AR.. the brass and steel cases were being torn apart... literally..

Also, I saw that:


Mike is the queen of the whores!

Ooohhh.. do I believe you....


... I've treated my Krink really bad and found out how reliable the "Lil b*tch" can be... I ran the thing dry and not even clean it very well (sprayed windex and wiped parts off) after shooting over 2K rounds through it and it finally failed on me *wouldn't fully cycle through* (it also has to do with the shorter gas system)... gave it a pretty good detailed clean and it runs great again... I love it

Well, not that we're measuring dicks or anything, but I've shot about 1000 rds through my AR without any bit of cleaning and it still operates fine. I honestly got sick of cleaning it every time I got back from shooting, and I talked to a bunch of knowledgeable old guys who told me I was cleaning it too much, so now the plan is to clean it once a year, or every 2000 rds, whichever comes first. Seems to be working just fine. I haven't cleaned my glock in almost 2 years and 3000 rds, and it is basically LNIB.

I guess I think cleaning is overrated... am I nuts?

Nuts you say? not at all....

When I got my Mark23 ... It damn near went over 2000 rounds without a proper cleaning, but I realized that it was a good one and a keeper... I gave it a detailed clean and from time to time I try to maintain it better.
As for the AR.. you got yourself a keeper it sounds like.

I didn't have such luck with AR's

[HoneyBadger]

Awesome. I was beginning to worry that I am damaging my most treasured possessions! After 1000 rounds through the AR, it still cycles perfectly fine and is still shooting about 1.8 MOA (the best i've ever shot it is 1.5 MOA). I'm getting a bit of crap building up just outside the chamber, but it doesn't affect the function of the gun at all. I think the last time I cleaned it was in September, so it's probably about time...

[redneck122]

Finally, other peope who don't clean their guns! Haha

I have about 3500 through my M&P 45 since the last cleaned. And its been buried in mud twice. The bitch just keeps goin

[zteknik]

Some of the rifles I have probably haven't been cleaned since the seige of Stallingrad!!
