We always take spare everythings, so we can keep on blasting. Last trip to Blackwater, 4 of my guns were on the line all week. None had a malf of any kind. I think I've figured out how to keep 'em running. 2 of the carbines were assembled by me, 2 were M16's slightly re-worked by me. Staked keys, lots of lube, good mags, Federal ammo, every attachment option loc-tited/staked. Best Xmas present I got was the high-dollar, high speed staking tool, so I don't have to steal GotM4's anymore!
