| Now when I see these videos all I can think of is how hard it is going to be to get water out of ever nook in the gun. The lower receiver seems like it would need to be completely stripped and detail clean to hell and back. The upper is a little easier. The water can just drain out. I guess it is possible to have water get trapped between the barrel and the receiver where the barrel extension enters the receiver if it sat underwater long enough. How the hell do they make sure all water is out and not corroding things, especially in the lower? |

I just field stripped it and let it air dry. Worked just fine. http://i973.photobucket.com/albums/ae213/Will816/15413F5F-CC32-4D7D-8E1F-D2BF83630FBD-248-0000000E927690EE.jpg That pic is both awesome and wrong at the same time. If this was GD it'd be begging for captions/photoshops. [moderator mode]Please note that this is not GD and captions/photoshops wouldn't be appropriate[/moderator mode] |

He's giving it a bath...where's the bubbles? It was sometime last year, might have been in the Block II thread, we were discussing whether or not a barrel with a round chambered would drain without pulling the charging handle back an inch to break the seal. Trust me, it does drain, no pull of the charging handle is necessary. I found a more scientific method after I submerged it, I just slowly filled the barrel and then turned it over a bowl and let the water drain. Once it stopped I pulled the charging handle back but no more water came out. |

Don't forget to wash behind that AR's ears! 
It is no big deal. Even for all-steel guns. We use our guns all year, every week. It snows, rains and such and they get soaked. No worries. I've had to turn a garden hose on a mud encased SAKO .375 H&H Magnum on the front lawn after an elk hunt, etc. Water in liquid form is no big deal...Water in hard frost form can be a bear, and it can lock up a gun mech tight. 
Pistols, too.... 
The AR is up to the task;
