[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 1827121, member: 101791"] It was AR15-E1 that wasn't chrome lined and first use by the Army. It had jamming problems. The spec were to close, and as it heated up it would jam. It's the 3 finger mussel flash or brake. I noted somewhere a statement the AR15-A1 was the one with the problems. I can see he was never in Vietnam. I started out with a AR 15-E1. It jammed every 3rd round. Got a second rifle a new AR15-A1. I never had any problems with it. In the second half of my year I got my hands onto a CAR-15 with a 10" barrel. It worked fine and fitted me better for my needs. I only noted was after 3-18 round clips fired on fully auto the front forearm pieces would get to hot to hold. The AR15-A1 with the V shape forward barrel guard you could put 50-18 round clips through it before it got hot. I haven't use one from that time on. Combat Medic "D" Troop 3/4 CAV. 25th Inf. Div.
