Looking at some of the M-LOK and Keymod handguards which are covered with cuts and holes- has it been a problem for anyone with those if dropped in the mud and not cleaned right away? Will that affect the gas operation or cause it to seize up or otherwise function in a degraded fashion?

Thanks for any help or answers

How would it affect gas operation? Mud on a gas tube won't do anything.

You could take an AR without any handguard at all and pour mud all over the barrel/gas tube and it would just fire away.

Inside the barrel and internally (magazine well and bcg) are really the only places you have to worry about.

Like the poster above me said, a hand guard has nothing to do with that.

Military went with M-lok as the new standard, so that should ease your mind about durability.

There is nothing anywhere to suggest this is true. Please cite the source.

I guess they decided have standardized pussies (slit-lok)  instead of dicks (dick-mod).
