    If the weapon does NOT have a chrome lining, then he is just screwed and should be brushing up on his transition skills.

    if the chamber is not chrome lined extraction on a dirty weapon can be a problem ,if the barrel is not chrome lined it will go away sooner and be harder to clean given a life and death situation anything less is looking for trouble . hope it all works out but they have shit for brains for issueing a half assed weapon to him,good thing he has a side arm. Mr Stoner designed it and he speced chrome lined barrels for a reason. anyone risking his life in combat should have good proper equptment for the job .

    Luckily any job of there where they issue non .mil a weapon should make enough money that it should be trivial to spend less than $1000 on some quality parts to make sure your gtg.

    And of course you realize that there are other factors to consider such as ITAR restrictions, which even though they are overlooked can get you into trouble. Also, some contracts (mine is one of them) specifically prohibit any alteration of the weapon w/o approval. As a matter of fact with the changing situation here in Iraq and PMC's I would venture to guess that if someone had an "extra" upper and it were to come out the Ministry of the Interior would use that as "proof" that we are a bunch of cowboys or that it was obtained to commit a crime and subvert a subsequent investigation.

    If you're allowed to run another upper, just get one put together with the parts you want from one of the reliable builders. Also get an armourer to check out the internals on your lower, make sure everything is legit.

    Or get to the IZ and take Iraqguns up on his offer!
