Hello all. It's been a long time. My work keeps me away from my favorite site--this one--mostly. Forgive me if this has been covered and if it has, maybe you can direct me to the appropriate thread. My nephew's best friend is posted over in sand country--Iraq. The friend returned home for a short visit and in a discussion he mentioned that the M16/M4 was still a piece of . . . something, when it came to reliability and consistenet performance. The sand just jams them up horribly. He uses the M16 turbocharged version with the double drum mag, I forget its model number, and says that it works fine. Anyone here know for sure how our rifles are doing over there? Armorers, vets, anyone? I thought our new powders, loadings, and tweaks of the entire firing system had provided some major fixes and made the weapons virtually insensitive to such elements. Again, if this has been covered please point me in the right direction. Thanks.
