    Interesting. Now I want to try this with my BCM. I live in the desert so "sand in the gun" is a constant issue on the ranch.

    Lubed "sand" works better than dry sand.

    Having come from the military, I've always been taught to run a weapon wet, but you don't need to. I put Slip2000 in every 500+ rounds just to satisfy my inner range coach, but I probably don't need too. I love my Daniel Defense, you did right by buying one

    Kevin Boland of KAC who frequents this forum actually made a video showing his SR-16 11.5 that was shot I believe 100% suppressed with KAC CQB can and mostly on full auto for 3-4k after being lubed with fireclean, gun just ran and was easy to wipe down afterward. The video is on fireclean 's YouTube!

    I've run my Anderson Manufacturing AR15 dry for over 3 years and never had a problem. Of course they tell you to run it dry, because of the coating on the gun.
    There are only 2 things we should fight for. One is defense of our homes and the other is the Bill of Rights.

    It's broken forever. Send it to me for urgent TLC.

    It's fine. Lube it up and carry on.

    Throw it in the trash. It's done. You popped the cherry and it will never be the same.......

    Not really. It'll be alright Doug. But don't let it happen again, or you'll get your birthday taken away.
