I wanted to see how many rounds I could put through my M4, without field stripping it and only doing a basic cleaning. Which consisted of swabbing the barrel, spraying the bolt down with gun scrub, and oiling the bolt with some rem-oil. To date I have ran just over 1,200 rounds through my Bushmaster. I started having feeding issues toward the end of my range session. So, it's time to field strip it. I did not put it through any crazy tests, it was strictly shot at the range.
