Today Mark5pt56, DBLETAP, and I went down to Blackwater International in Moyock, NC.
Without a doubt, the finest shooting facility on the east coast.
Lots of rounds downrange through M4's, AK's, and an M1 Garand.
At the end of the day, I decided to run an inpromptu dirt test on my Arsenal Inc. SLR-105A1.
I removed the dust cover and threw two handfulls of dirt into the action, then inserted a magazine and threw another handfull in.
I then replaced the dustcover, charged the weapon, and ran a 30 round magazine of Russian 7N6 surplus 5.45mm through it.
It passed with flying colors.

Both Mark5pt56 and DBLETAP are sworn law enforcement officers and can verify that this was real. Mark was the camera man.
