[QUOTE="texan, post: 1026593, member: 38206"] [B]The AR-15 like the M-16 is so carbon prone, one must make sure it is WELL lubricated first. The bolt carrier must be more than well lubricated, it must be dripping wet. The AR-15 must be cleaned more often. Since it has been said steel casing is more carbon producing, one must be a cleaning freak. It was the draw back of the M-15 and M16. Carbon build up. I will not attempt to sound like a seasoned expert. Just spent 22 years with the M-16 in the Army and now a M-15. I still use the more expensive ammo because old dogs are hard to train. But I tried steel, and found cleaning more often and lubricating is a must. Bottom line for the AR vs the AK Steel vs Brass, AR must be cleaned and lubed more than an AK. But I am soooo comfortable and confident with the AR, and the brass ammo, what do I do? Old narrow minded dog. It is like Ford vs Chevy people. Brass vs Steel. [/B] [/QUOTE]
