Just finished the 3-day Carbine Operators course run by Pat Rogers (EAG Tactical) at the Pueblo West Sportsmans Club (CO). "Most" of the students were more or less squared away- more than in prior carbine classes hosted there. There were I think 2 or 3 rifles that kept going down and needed to be replaced to finish the class. All shooters used AR-15 pattern rifles. Failures were due to unstaked gas keys and improperly manufactured bolt carrier groups. Some ammunition problems as good training ammo is getting harder to get / afford.
My 12" SBR ran 100% with zero malfs throughout the class. I didn't clean it at all, just added 2 drops of lube at lunch and the end of each day into the vent holes in the bolt carrier. I used XM193 from 2006.
Pat runs a solid class that keeps coming back to proper execution of the fundamentals, to include mindset. If you have the chance to attend one, do not miss it.
