[QUOTE="db-2, post: 280089, member: 4743"] Kentucky: I belive they started making the AR in the late 1950 and i was there in 69. Have a 222 magnum rifle and I believe there are a lot of off shoots from that bullet which I believe all came from the 222 in earlier 1950. I am sure over the last 50 years they have gotten better and maybe it was me but i did clean it often and did love that rifle as though my life did depend on it. (side note, I had a slight misunderstanding with some general and they took my m-16 from me, so I sat for the last few months without a weapon if I had not bought a grease gun from a buddy for $50. Always shot well, just not a lot of bullets available for it. So that was fine but then things got serious as they took my R&R away and me a virgin with $600 and going to Bangkok). However the M-1 and M-14, one could give it a mud bath and it still would work, maybe some to do with the caliber to open and close the bolt after firing. Just would feel a lot better caring that rifle. But they are history and today we have a newer, lighter, ect rifle to go to war with and I am sure the soldiers feel good about there weapon. But thanks for the thank you. db By the way I have no ideal how to make your rifle shoot better other than lower your standards. Model 70 IMHO is one if not best weapon made. [/QUOTE]
