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.

1,000 here, and no relube. Bcm lightweight carbine, ops-416.
About 1700. 1400 in an EAG class out of that amount. No cleaning just lubed it...
5000 something. In a bushmaster. It never failed.
1200 plus no issues.
op- during a 9 day contract traing job as an instructor i put the following thru 3 rifles- lwrc m6a2stretch -3800 rds,700supressed,just lube- fn scar 16s-5800 rds ,just lube, issue colt[new] m4 carbine,1500rds cleaned at 600rds,900 just lube,the m4 never stuttered,just got sluggish,cleaned it ,than ran wide open,lots of 3rd burst,no problem,the 2 pistons never slowed, smoothrunning ,much cooler,yeah they were filthy but no problems either,pmags run in all rifles,some of the older issue G.I. mags caused lots of range slow downs,why they don,t adopt for at least depolying unit boogle the mind.when finished,doing weapons maintence sure was easy with the pistons,the joe;s i trained sure were jealous at the cleaning station![]()
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.
