Yeah yeah. In the 20 to 50 years it will take to harm the rifle, I will have sold it and bought 20 more!

It doesn't take that long Subman. You'll get barrel pitting within a few days.

I never let it go longer than 24 hours, so no big deal (I don't like unclean guns that won't do their job in my house!). I usually do it the same day, but last night was getting late when I got in. Got ropped into going to the furniture store on the way home. Walked out of their with $2K less in my pocket than when I went in.

Try a mattress. Had a deal on those Tempurpedic things since you got the boxspring and pillows for free (Worth about $700 alone). SHould be delivered by the end of the month.

Yeah - boring - I know.

how would the "sweedish sleep system devloped by NASA" (an american assosiation) be of any help? unless you have springs going through the top of the thing, no need spending big $$$ on air pillows.

Sit on one and then you will know. I have yet to try and sleep on one though.

Ammunition made before 1990 I wouldn't leave in any of my guns for more than 10 mins after firing.

Most powders made after 1990 are fairly decent and you can let it slide for a day but no more than that.

The acids in the powder will eat away at the bore (barrel pitting).

So it's usually my reccomendation to clean your toys after you're done with them ( I know, I hate doing that too).

I hear ya, but when Stoner made the AR-15, he originally designed it so that it would never need cleaning - hence the chrome lined barrel, etc. I'm not too worried about this rifle going a day or two without being brushed down, even though I've never let it go for more than 24 hr's.

My Kimber however I do worry about and clean religiously.

PS. When they first sent the M-16 over to Vietnam, they didn't even include a cleaning kit with it since it wasn't supposed to need it. Of course, they also shippend the wrong ammo type, which sorta makes the cleaning kit neccesary at that point since it was a very fouling type of ammo that was never intended for the rifle.

Rust wasn't the issue. Powder residue clogging up the gas tube was.

It does, doesn't it? Issue is dead, but some side issues are still open. All guns are clean to a decent standard. All I smell is not gunpowder anymore, but BreakFree. All I can smell now is Breakfree. I finish up with a coat of Miltec 1, but at least that doesn't smell.
