“My M-4gery (Rock River AR-14) is great but it did jam once due to me not cleaning it. The tolerances are tight as they should be and any carbon buildup in the chamber could cause a jam. Overall I love the AR-15.

I’ve got the National Match A2 from Rock River. Never a jam. Unfortunately, my M14 can’t say the same. Not really the design’s fault, though.

ALWAYS clean the chamber of any self-loading rifle at least every few hundred rounds. Especially something with a slightly tighter chamber than an M16. (RRA uses Bill Wylde’s chamber specs).

The first M16 suffered from jams due to some genius deciding that the chamber didn't really need to be chrome plated like Stoner had specified.That and using ball power with too much calcium carbonate as a stabilizer caused a lot of problems.
