I had the privelage to help out Chris Costa with Magpul Dynamics Basic Carbine class in St. Augustine FL on Oct. 11-12. Due to a few last minute unavoidable cancellations, this was a smaller than usual. This meant a little more shooting time for everyone! Gun issues were almost nill until near the end of day 2. One shooter suffered from several stuck cases which were believed to be a combination of a tight chamber (Olympic SS barrel) and his own reloaded ammo. Another suffered a stuck case that would not have happened outside of our manufacturing double feed malfunctions during the malfunction clearance portion of the class, and and yet another had a case get stuck in between the charging handle channel and gas tube (likely a bad mag). Short of this the guns ran smoothly through over 1600 rounds each in the period of two days and one night.

Chris talks about getting the gun in your workspace, "Nothing at your feet is going to kill you, why stare at the ground?"
