Early colt ar15 buffer

[Andouille]

Well I tell you what. All the goddam army had available when I was in was LSA, and it worked fine in my experience, then and now. This was after the goddam army had fixed the ammunition and buffer issues and had chrome chambers, but hadn't started chroming bores just yet. I've dallied with some of the modern lubes but hadn't found anything that worked better than LSA, with one exception. The "machine gun" lube sold by LaRue seems to allow less carbon build up. That stuff I believe in, but I'm still using LSA on some of my rifles.

McNamara and the Whiz Kids had a lot of ideas. One of which was (IIRC) was a scope sight made by Bausch & Lomb. it had a fixed, non adjustable reticle. It didn't need one because it would index on the rifle's bore and all of those were the same. Oops! turned out they were not the same, in fact no two were ever the same. I would imagine one of those scopes today would be a valued collector's item.
