Most of the AR's poor reputation comes from soliders not issued cleaning kits in Vietnam. In fact you don't even really need to clean them all that often. You do need to keep them lubed. If you do that they will run and run. Pat Rogers has an AR with over 40K rounds through it without cleaning...

Never could trust it after that. Pat I've heard stories like that too. I've also heard of guys who have run them hard with no problems, maybe the reinforced them better at some point.
