Oh man, thats great. Im laughing on the inside at people that were paying $45 bucks a pop for them

 

From the research I did c-products and ASC mags seem to work the best.

 

I went to a "Military Surplus" store today. I asked the guy what he had for AR's
he showed me some no name aluminum mags for $27 each or the military issue pmags for $65. I didn't know magpul was military issue, And honestly I haven't checked but I was floored when I saw the prices he was asking. Carry on.....

 

Is it safe to put a couple drops of oil into the gas tube while it is on the rifle? I mean, will it go when it is shot? I was cleaning, and thought it would be a good idea..

 

I don't know.
I'd blow out the gas tube with a air hose just to be safe.

 

ive never taken out the gas tube, and unsure how

 

i dunno either, you could pull the BCG and Just blow it that way

 

no need to unless there is a problem, its one roll pin on the gb/fsb

 

don't blow it back into the barrel, if anything, tape off one end of the barrel (either crown or breach) and blow it out towards the upper receiver

 

Curious why? I'd rather have that crap in the barrel where a quick run of a cleaning patch would run it out the muzzle, than up in my upper receiver.

MJM - no real need to lube your gas tube. If you're set on cleaning it, use a thick pipe cleaner.

 

Thanks guys, I should've asked before I did that. But with only 2small drops, I should be ok. I will hit it with a pipe cleaner tho, and should be good after that.

 

wow! Yea Pmags have national stock numbers for .mil ordering now. Pretty cool.

We dont have any here at Sheppard yet but we are in the process of phasing out old mags with the green followers and replacing them with the tan follower mags.

 

Why are you sticking pipe cleaners in your gas tube? The 55,000 PSI of superheated air that is blown down that tube every time you pull the bang switch is more than enough to keep it clean.

 

i just have a "policy" of never introducing anything into the barrel unless i have to. i'd rather blow crap into the upper receiver and wipe it out than down the barrel. not claiming any "logic" there, just my personal preference.
