    FailZero?

    Ok fellow gun nuts, after 15 yrs of service as an 11B, in mostly the 4th ID, I surely know my way around just about all squad used weapon systems. However, I know most believe soaking your M4/AR will make it run better/longer. After a few trips to the sandbox, I now think the lube impregnated bolt carrier is now what everyone wants. As far as on the civilian side, is the Failzero looked upon as the best reviewed non-lubed system? Please share experiences, good or bad.

    It has been proven that the AR platform runs better wet then dry. Try doing a search for the FailZero, it has been discussed many times.

    Here you go. I have a friend that runs one on his gun and it's nice but I personally wouldn't spend the money on it. More ammo would be a better investment.

    Well, not to my amazement, it looks like it would work, but it sure is against everything we all have been drilled into our heads, as far as PMCS. I think I will save the money for more ammo..Thanks again

    Happy to help but of course this is just my take. I would recommend you do your own research and figure out if it is worth enough for you.

    Quality and Spec of Fail Zero BCG & Upper...Grant?

    I'm very interested in the FailZero parts and it appears that it could make cleaning a lot easier...and I hate cleaning.

    In the function of the AR, I've learned that the quality and correct spec of the parts is really the most important part to reliability and function. It would be great if the spec of the FailZero were top notch, and I could get the benefit of the EXO plating.

    So, how is the quality and spec of the FailZero uppers and BCGs? Grant, you seem to be very knowledgable on this...so I'm looking in your direction.
    Have Fun, Be Safe

    The quality is what you'd expect from mil-spec parts; since I believe FailZero gets their bcgs' from a military contractor prior to plating.

    Have 3 of these, I don't use the hammers. They work great, I would still lube though. Your still going to get dirty with a DI gun. The carbon just comes off much easier. I know Stickman was going to use it in a long term beater rifle, I'm not sure how that project ended or if it did.

    That would be the smartest thing they could do, but I don't think they are HPT.
