Re: AR-15: Cartridge stuck in chamber

For example, I remember how much my M16 would rattle when I shook it back then. My M4 doesn't rattle at all, except for the telescoping stock, which is expected.

I've had to re-familiarize myself with field stripping the thing, as I haven't done it in 15 years. :mrgreen:
It will come back to you pretty quick..just like falling off a bike!

Re: AR-15: Cartridge stuck in chamber

Yes unfortunately...the Army got the new of the new...when they used up the weapons and they were rattle boxes..the Marines went dumpster diving and got them..

The tolerances in our M-16A2 were always very loose..and we did keep them clean..but a brand new rifle needs about 3-5k rounds put thru it before its broken in!

Usually FTF are bad mags!
