M4's are FAR more reliable and sturdy than they are often given credit for.
Just to test a theory - I'm thinking I might just build a junk AR and beat the snot out of it, shoot the crap out of it, and never clean it - just to see how long it takes for something to go wrong. I think the results might be surprising. And from there - an actual quality unit would only mean that the results should be better!
I know SEVERAL BCM users who have carbines over 3K without a single cleaning yet.
It is plenty sturdy enbough of a system.
I most always go more than 2k rounds before cleaning, and I never clean before 1k. Ive never went 10k rounds, but im sure ive went 5k. The system is tried and true, with almost 50 years of service, so it will take the abuse without issue.
