By that I mean catastrophic jams. I had went through the 2nd time and took all the advice of all the "experts" as to mags, ammo, upgrades, etc. FWIW, I've also witnessed two dozen or more of these weapons goes down at classes and during hard field use.
After the 2nd one failed in the same manner the first one did (and no I'm not talking about a feed jam or EASY jams) I sold it and said never again.
I realize a lot of folks love them and will tell you "I've never had any problems with mine" but there are a lot of locker queens out there. More than that, there's a lot of guys that go and shoot 200 rounds once a year, clean it for three days afterwards and declare it "reliable", NONE of which I'm talking about. Please, everyone that is planning on relying on an AR, please please please also carry a handgun. It will likely save your life.
Again, not looking to start a debate, who's got the better kung fu or any BS like that, just stating my experiences with this rifle and offering caution to help a fellow patriot.
Thanks for the laugh. I've forwarded this to a few members of our 'club' who routinely put our AR's through more punishment then you will in a lifetime.
Anyone who knows AR's knows about there reliablity if you just do the
basic matainance. I'll admit, I wasn't going to even respond to your post as is completely obvious what your intension is. BUT I can't let this kind of mis-information go unchecked as there are lots of (new to the hobby) people looking for a
reliable go to SHTF weapon and it really doesn't get much better then the weapon MOST law inforcement and the U.S. military go to. And that's the
AR. BTW, You say you've owned 2, and they "crapped out" after a few thousand rounds? Well, IF you did have
2 and they 'crapped out' after a few thousand rounds it's because you obviously don't know what your doing. If they worked fine, then suddenly DON'T then you are doing something wrong. Sorry, plain and simply. Your right, lots of 'folks' love them, FOR A REASON.
