Ramone, its LAW(Lubricant, Arctic Weapons)

Actually the very first AR-15's(before the Army adopted them and named them M16) was issued to ARVN troops and SEALS with a 1/14 twist rate. When the Army was looking at adopting them(while also trying their darndest to make the rifle fail) the found that supposedly the 1/14 twist would not...

Any gun will be fine with proper lubrication. Want to know something funny? The Russians even have a lubricant that is designed to keep the AK-74 running in -30* temps. I have seen AK's lock up from the colt before so it can happen, proper lubrication keeps it from happeneing. During WWII the...

The brits are using the LMT in the same way the SEALS are using the MK20. The MK17 is generally a 10" battle rifle or around there, more inline with the Colt 901.

Different times. The L129 trials was a fair and open competition. The L85 trials were not. The L85 was fully built and tested in house and then adopted. It was adopted 5 years before the M4 came out and 15yrs before the US Army adopted the M4. There was no competition to see what was better...

The L129A1 has seen a ton of combat so far and has nothing but stellar reviews from those issued it.....also alot of the Brits I have spoken to wish they would have adopted the M4 as their standard issue rifle as well.

2 different rifles. The LMT is a DMR and an excellent one at that, it is used by the British designated the L129A1. The LMT beat the SCAR, HK417, and one other rifle in all categories(reliability, durability, and accuracy) The Colt is a battle rifle along the lines of the MK17(scar-h)...

50-70gr Barnes TSX will easily get the job done out to 300M, beyond that the bullet may or may not open up.

Meanmrmistard try quoting the whole thing. The very first time the M16 saw combat was with the ARVN and us special forces, they were issued cleaning kits and ammo with the proper powder and theres no reported issues, though there was numerous praises for the rifles success in combat. It was...

The Very first M16's did amazing in Vietnam, theyre issued to SF groups and the vietnamese and they were praised for their reliability ability to put enemies down. Funny how no one everentio s this though. When the Army decided to adopt the M16 they changed the powder and did not issue cleaning...

Thanks mistwolf, with about 20 minutes of google searching I found a refference post about the subject and it looks like C4IGrant posted it. http://www.m4carbine.net/showthread.php?t=109165&page=3 The refference post I found was dated 2010 so it looks like he has stated it more than once.

rcmodel, that was the '07 dust test. IMO it was a flawed test, rifles only got cleaned every 600 rounds and they lubed them according to how the TM said which means a minimal amount of lubrication, each rifle was subjected to 30 minutes of extreme dusting then fired 120 rounds, re dusted, then...

Do you have a link Mistwofl? I would be interested in reading that.

I hear alot of people say CFH is superior cause it lasts longer yet never once has anyone shown positive data on it. The only real data i have seen is the '07 dust test(which was flawed IMO) but at the end of it every rifle(3 had CHF barrels) every barrels head space exceeded safe parameters...

Until I see the results of the IC competition I would choose a Colt 6921 with the SOPMOD II package. Throw it in the mud, throw it in some sand, even throw it in some water and it will just keep on running. Give it a little wipe down and some SLIP2000 EWL every 1,000-2,000 rounds and youll...
