1: Don't store it in the dirt next time.
2: Sell off all your defective magazines which are causing almost all of the jams, and use only good USGI mags with fresh springs, green followers, and no shell damage. Then you won't have reason to bitch. I haven't had a jam in several thousand rounds since I ID's my defective mags in my stash and moved them on. CJ |

I've seen Stens jam. and UZIs. and MACs. and FALs. and M14s. and HKs. and yes, even AKs.
There are weak links in the AR15/M16 gas system, true. There are weak links in all systems. There is no perfect rifle/machine gun. |

you are 100% correct there. almost all machineguns are so finiky. What I like about the m16 is the vesitility. I just wish all everything woked better together.

When I was having problems with that 16" I think mine did something close to that. I had a spent casing get stuck inbetween the bolt and the upper housing, after I got the spent casing out i kept on rapping the buttstock with a rubber mallet. pissed me off
I think I found a new trigger set up for that too, being a sheetmetal worker, I hate coming in contact with raw aluminum,I noticed the gray on the finger, and I have heard to many bad stories about raw aluminum |

Aren't most of the "true" M-16's around very old? Wouldn't wear and tear from 1000's of rounds amplify jamming problems?
I'm asking because I don't know. I've never even seen a full auto M16 do its business in person. I've just heard that most automatics in the US in civilian hands were quite old. No? |

It would take an unusual amount of wear to significantly reduce the reliability of most firearms.
To a certain point, wear is good. It allows the mechanism to operate with less effort as the high spots get rubbed off. But, too much wear causes parts not to fit together properly, and that's where trouble begins. Speaking of the M16 only, the "valuable part" is the lower receiver itself, and in normal use, the only parts of it that are in any danger of wearing out are the takedown pin holes and the fire control group pin holes, and bushings can be installed in them if they're worn too far, and the bushings are replaceable. Plus you can get anti-rotation fire control group pins, thereby removing that source of wear as the pins don't spin. They're linked together with an external strap. CJ |

Sounds like a good armorer or armoring course might be in order. The M16 is a very sound and reliable weapon system. It might just need a little loving care to get it tuned just right. Maybe something is slightly out of spec, ammo, or maybe a maintenance issue.

You've hadn't tasted real fun until you try and unjamb a M60.
