BTW.. It has very much been my experience, that the Black Rife actually performs a little better when its slightly fouled. They do NOT need the lube that people are taught they do. I never lubed mine in the Sand Box (that fine sand LOVED the lubricant.. stuck to it like a 40 year old virgin nerd to a super model after a mercy-%*$&). I've used Colt, Bushmaster, and DPMS and I've never, not once, had any malfunction from ANY of them, and they were all shot completely dry. So was my Kimber TLE/RL2. Not 1 problem. With the exception of the .556/.223 caliber, I would not hesitate to carry that platform into any mess imaginable.
