Honestly... I keep a spare mag next to the rifle, and if I have to see why the dogs are going crazy or things go bump in the dark, I grab it and put it in my back pocket.... that makes a total of 56 rds (28 in each mag)...which would be a LOT of noise by anybody's measure!

Did I tell you about me and the youngest here?... not long ago the dogs all went berserk in the kitchen, and SP said, "SOMETHING is ON the back porch!" We went out the back door in a hurry armed for bear and THOUGHT the skunk was on the back porch with us! :-) Thankfully, it was NOT... but it wasn't far away! We tracked it through the snow to the woods just north and weren't in the mood to follow. :-)

I usually sit these threads out, but this ongoing conflagration about ARs jamming when one just glances at the them is pure horsefeathers. Like you, I've subjected the M16 to mud baths, swimming events, sand traps, the whole nine yards.

Never had a jam until the remfs sent us out this new fangled oil some dude from Caleefornia had thought up and sold somebody in the higher eschalon the idea it was a cure all for all that vietnamese jungle rot that happened to our gear...

Well Hell Yeah! I tried it, and it shore nuff kept that Black beauty a sparklin! Made the rain skeen off like water offa ducks ass, and made the action SNAP like there was no tommorow! Then came 'ol Sir charles acallin on a late night date in thee 'ol Ashua dancin valley!

Well Sombeach! I had no longer fed two 30 mags through my baby tradin volleys with Charley when the Band demanded to be paid! I'm here to tell, there is nothing worse than tryin to dance when you Baby has choked on some brass! in the middle of a moonless night!

NEVER...EVAH...AGAIN will I ever put WD=40 on a Gawdamned thing agin!

Well up to that point fellas, I nevah had a jam with that fine tool! And trust me boys, afgter THAT night, I never had another one!
