“Cite a source to the AR jamming please.”

Me. One year of Vietnam service using the M-16 which is just the full-automatic version of the AR. That ought to count for something.

Maybe the the jamming problems are fixed now, I can’t say. On the other hand, you could drag an AK through mud and cow dung, bake it in the oven, and chances are it’ll still fire. /s

Thanks for your service. The military PTBs, in their infinite wisdom, decided to change the powder that the stoner design was tested and validated on, to a power that the caused serious issues. The military PTB's blamed the soldiers then the design but when the powder problem got figured out so did the jamming problems.

Of course none of this is going to make one of those jam-o-matic drum contraptions work...and they don't magically work because they are plugged into AKs either.
