Yep, I finaly did it, 1000 rounds. And never had any kind of malfunction of any kind. Any way, I thought I would pull the RAS off clean and inspect the whole rifle. That and I wanted to get it ready for the hunting season. It's a good thing I did because there was alot of crap in areas that I normaly don't clean. I had a hell of a time geting the two pins out that hold the front sight tower in place. I even broke my punch. Does any body know of a way to make this a bit easyer?
I was suprised, the gas tube wasn't realy all that dirty. I have some long pipe cleaner looking things to clean the gas tube. A few passes with that and it was like new.
Also a coment on the RAS. The RAS is brobibly one of the best front grips money can buy for the AR-15. The thing is, I dont know how thay charge 400.00 for one. There is nothing to them. When you disassemble it you realise this. Maby this is a good thing for a weight and simplicity factor, but wow...
Also I was wondering if any of you guys completly disassemble you're AR after so many rounds? I think I am going to start doing a complete tear down after every 1000 rounds.
