20,000 rounds, no cleaning. I'm not sure what else there is to say. The AK is certainly a workhorse and reliable. But the longstanding myth that it is more reliable than the AR is unfounded. Old military protocols for cleaning and maintenance have more or less been proven to be dead wrong. Keep...

No disrespect intended here, but those old myths really don't apply. All a decent AR needs in order to run thousands of rounds without cleaning is a reasonable amount of lubricant.

Interested in this too.

Does all the carbon fall off the bolt too?

Lol! I honestly can't think of a reason to ditch a working BCG. I've also seen the statements about carbon actually being absorbed into NiB, hence the reason the turn black after being shot alot. As long as it's not hindering function, no big deal. It just goes to show you though, that NiB...

[emoji112] Who me? I'm not really a hater. But I have run across a few that were out of spec, specifically in the bolt lug dimensions, causing extraction problems or causing a complete lock up of the action. A lot of guys use them without a single issue. Cool. The reason that I really don't...

1) What's your basis for the idea that the AK is more reliable? They do fail, just as a quality AR will run and run and run. 2) Better round is pretty subjective. If I can make 8/10 hits at 300 with an AR, but you only hit 5/10 with an AK, which is better? Obviously, the 762 hits harder, but...

Gotcha. Basically equivalent cost when you factor in QDs. I also prefer they be sewn in. One of my VCAS slings is set up that way. Have you ever tried the BFG Padded VCAS and compared to the VTAC? They're very similar, except the VCAS doesn't have the long tab that hangs loose when it's cinched...

I haven't looked at them in a long while. What's the difference between the two?

Isn't the Larue just a rebranded VTAC? Or am I misremembering?

Except in this case, they got it right! ;)

True Story.

Tell that to the USMC. They adopted the BFG VCAS.

When I get the itch, I just borrow one from Tech Jacket.

Honestly, I don't know. I've never used a conversion kit, just a dedicated upper. I would hope that the o-ring usually found on the conversion would keep the crud in the bore and out of the chamber.

That's more about blowing out all the lead and powder from the gas tube. If it accumulated over time, it could begin to restrict gas flow.

Stuck cases are just a fact of life with steel. Sooner or later it's gonna happen unless you scrub the chamber every now and then.

Actually, shooting brass after steel can create issues because of how brass expands and seals against the chamber walls. Steel doesn't fire form like brass to seal the chamber and allows alot of crud into the chamber during firing. Shooting brass behind it often leads to a stuck brass case when...

Well, that's the catch. It doesn't really work the same. Steel is going to require more cleaning in order to maintain 100% reliability. That was my thought as well. If the world went to hell in a handbasket, I'd be throwing every gun I own and every round of ammo into the bed of my truck and...

Current pricing puts 1k of wolf at around $230. That's basically a 23% savings or about 1300 rounds for the same cost as 1k of brass. That's not a bad gain and almost equivalent to a free case for every three you buy. I prefer brass also, BUT if cost is the primary issue, steel starts to make a...
