Never owned or fired an AR, my soul is pure.

My uncle gave me a new M16 back in ‘69 and over the course of the next year I fired something in excess of 30 K rounds. Never fired it other than full auto. Cleaned it once, the day I turned it in. I did keep it lubed. About 8” of rifling was missing from the breech end of the barrel. It never jammed, FTF or eject.

I’m glad I didn’t have to pay for the ammo. Solid tracers are the schizzel.


I am..........disturbed.

I rewatched the video of her testimony. Sounds like she was talking about failure to eject, not necessarily failure to extract. I stand corrected.

If Kyle was running an AK instead... this would all be mute...

And Lefty would be Stubby... instead.


If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

I have seen at least a 1/2 a dozen things go wrong on ARs that are brand new and not broken in.

Loose gas locks, misaligned gas blocks, undersized ports, dry bolt, bad key/tube interface, tight chamber from a worn reamer.

I could go on but you guys get the point... many many specific unknowns.
