5000 rounds till first rifle related jam(the other was a bad round).. there was so much fouling in the bolt it did a light strike once... It didnt hiccup again, but I still cleaned the bolt and then went another 1000 rounds till last weekend when the bolt at one point did not move fast enough to strip the round... I am cleaning it now..because its time instead of oiling it.

that is all.

oh.. the shooting conditions were not the best.  this includes 2 road trips to texas, about 15 trips to the desert 7 of them overnighters, and 6 of them with NASTY weather.  This also includes a 2 gun match in foul weather and multiple other trips to regular ranges.

I did oil it every now and then(maybe 6 times total and lightly)..but only where the bolt contacted the receiver.

Too bad they can't get away with that kind of maintenance in Iraq.

im letting parts soak right now.. even the dental tools are having issues with the carbon build up on the bolt and in the bolt carrier.

Im thinking about getting my bolt hard chromed, or buying one.

Aren't chrome bolts supposed to wear out your upper super fast? Read that someplace.

no idea...it is harder than the regular steel.. only if the surface is more abrasive.


yeah.. i think a militech-1 treatment is in order LOL.
