    What's the most rounds you've shot through your AR and not cleaned it?

    What's the most rounds you've shot through your AR and not cleaned it? Was it still reliable? I'm just curious. I've shot maybe 500 or so rounds without cleaning it. I'm just curious how far some go without cleaning it up!

    Thanks.

    About 1700. 1400 in an EAG class out of that amount. No cleaning just lubed it...

    Over 2,000 in a 14.5" Bushmaster and more than 2,000 through an LMT 10.5" added lubed and they both ran without issue. I imagine both would have just kept running until something broke.

    5182 rounds. Had to clean it after that because the trigger stopped resetting (disconnector wouldn't let go of the hammer). It was crazy filthy and oozing lube like an old Harley. The whole time it was lubed with WeaponShield. This was my LMT 10.5" SBR with the old barrel, over 3K rounds of that was suppressed. This was the SBR I used in the Magpul Dynamics video 'Art of the Tactical Carbine 2'. I never cleaned it after that class until 5182 rounds.

    3000rds suppressed, bet that was fun to clean.
