It's not the "do-all", "Be-all", or even the "End-all"....but I have found it to be an accurate, reliable, and versatile rifle system.

Long story short, because mine jammed a good friend and comrade lost his life. Just one of those things you never forget and it still makes the hair on my neck and arms stand up.

Cleaning your weapon during a combat operation is not always a practical thing to do. The M-16's we got had internal problems ie: chamber, being the worst, and at that time did not have forward assist.

A good weapon should function after fording a stream, after it's been drug through mud, or filled with dirt. The M-16's we had at that time did NOT.

Best wishes, Bill
