What a great video, thanks for uploading it.

"If the rifle doesn't slip out of the riflemans hands after cleaning more Lsa needs to be applied to the rifle"😂
🤣 😂 🫡 🇺🇸 🪖 🥾
If you're watching this, you don't need that much lube. Don't put bore cleaner in your lower either.
LSA Semifluid and LSA Medium oil is still top Dog ! Great video but he didnt inspect the staggering of the rings when he sent the bolt carrier home. I think he also over lubed with the LSA but he did a great job. Highly Recommend the LSA semifluid.

Funny how they recommend pouring bore cleaner into the lower receiver.
Right! Thanks for watching :)
Wow, you'd need at least a quart of LSA each time you clean your rifle! I guess they wanted to drill it home to the soldier at that time to clean and lubricate the rifle after each firing or even if it's been outside and not fired.
Amen! 🙏🏻 Thanks for watching! 🙇 🪖 🇺🇸 🥾
I still would love to know how the rumor that it was self cleaning got started. These rifles are super easy to care for and can be fully cleaned in like 15 minutes.
Some Army officials did not want the M16 to be adopted. They purposely did things that could cause the rifle to fall inspections during trials. They didn’t want the bore and chamber chrome lined and they didn’t issue cleaning kits. This was known that it would cause rifles to fall in the field at very high rates. Many have speculated that they wanted the rifles to fail because of the caliber and because they wanted rifles made only by the Springfield National Armory. When they started using ball propellant powder to increase the velocity of the 55gr bullets it was not properly tested. The military had tons of ball powder in stock and wanted to use it to keep from purchasing new powder. This by itself was not necessarily to cause the rifle to fail on purpose. But by not testing the ball powder ammunition properly in the M16 and certifying it as safe for combat purposes it in combination with non chrome lined barrels and lack of proper cleaning and training was a disaster waiting to happen.
Why not just dunk the entire gun in a barrel of LSA? The makers of that stuff must have made a fortune and a half.
RBC, LSA. USMC in garrison. wear a gun out cleaning. range for a week once a year. clean the gun all day everyday the next week. then once a month at least 3-4 hours, depending on the gun bunny, all day. UNLESS you were a WM I knew who never had to clear her rifle. But serviced the gun bunny once a month. when I started dating her, she got me off the cleaning roster too. She though she was marrage potential. fun, yes but keeper? only until PCS
Right hahaha 😂
Preach! 🇺🇸
Thanks for posting this 👍🏻
The pleasure is all mine! Thank YOU for watching! 😎
it might be quicker to throw the whole rifle in lsa then wipe dry the parts that dont need it.
For real right!?
Holy moly so much oil and lubricant on that M16

The troop firing his M16 at about 0:50 into the video has a malfunction.
And just shooting up
💥 💨 🔫
Do a google search for
McNamara’s misfits or McNamara’s morons . It will tell you all you want to know. Politicians and bureaucrats got a lot of our soldiers killed in Vietnam.
good vid, saving this for post range wipe downs
Thanks for watching!
Wow, he does more damage by over cleaning than if he would just lube it lol..
That’s true! 😆 Thanks for watching!
What a mess.Easy on the LSA... I guess they did not invent needle oilers yet?
Basic trng must see 1974
I bet 💪 🪖 🇺🇸
shortly after calling the m16 a reliable gun, they show a recruit having a malfunction while firing 🤣
Soak a rag with bore cleaner. Soak a rag with LSA.
0:52 malfunctioned
Yessir 🫡 🪖 🥾 🇺🇸
So the rifle they said doesn't need to be cleaned, needs to be cleaned everyday. Is there something wrong with that or is it just me?
Exactly 😈 🪖 🥾 🇺🇸
That was a lie from the government to give the weapon no chance, including using ball powder instead of IMR powder, not issuing cleaning kits and manuals. They were responsible for a lot of Americans getting KIA just because they didn't like the idea of a small caliber high velocity rifle not made of wood and steel. Outrageous.
If after cleaning and failure to extract or failure to fire Exchange for an AK and don’t clean it.
