IMO a .308 WIN or 7.62 NATO round would solve many of the M16’s shortfalls. With a much stronger stockspring and higher powered round, many of the jamming on a grain of sand issues may not occur.

“...the jamming on a grain of sand issues...”

Again, that’s because of the design flaw of the M16/AR15 rifles - it craps where it eats. Very dirty design.

But it’s an OK weapon overall if you keep it clean. I like my AR and will keep it. But the Garand and the M14 hold a special place in me ol’ heart...

As well as Enfield No.4 MkIs and No. 5 Jungle Carbines, AK’s, SKS’s, lever-action Marlins and Winchesters...KAR98K’s, Springfield 03’s...etc.,

Even my old Mosin-Nagant M44 gives me a warm and fuzzy occassionally...

Great to be an American, ain’t it?
