New to AR platform and new to m4carbine forum. I have an Eagle M 14 and wondering if there is any negatives with firing steel casing rounds as opposed to brass?

What the hell is an Eagle M 14???Originally Posted by Spooky4431

The casing doesn't matter. If the bullet is bi-metal, it'll wear harder on the barrel. But the wear is negligible when compared to the cost of barrel replacement vs. dollar savings on ammo.

Maybe an Eagle Arms? I have a few Eagle arms by Armalite lowers.

As I understand it, Eagle is a division of Armilite and M-14 is their nomenclature for their 5.56.
Eagle Arms. M-15. Sorry

A brass case will obturate (expand against the chamber walls) when fired, sealing the chamber from expanding gases that propel the bullet. A steel case doesn't do this, so the chamber will foul more quickly.
Call me skeptical, but I doubt that your Eagle M15 has a BCG with a quality extractor spring assembly. Steel case ammo might make for some good malfunction clearance practice.

The most comprehensive test I've seen. Extractors wear faster grabbing steel rims, too.

per Armalite's website, the Eagle models are their budget friendly models.
