LevAR Review: The Ultimate AR Malfunction Buster

I think its a handy device. Run any mechanical item hard, and something bound to fail. Engines, firearms, wheel bearings, etc …

Good to know it may make it easier to deal with an unexpected failure.

You may be the most studious person with your rifle, but it just takes that one round that came off the assembly line wrong … and … 😡😡

1) that every AR typically likes certain ammo and fails constantly with other ammos. There is no complaining here you just have shoot a lot ammo to find out what that is for you and your rifle.

2) cleaning and lubrication are key components to an AR's reliable operation.

Follow these 2 things and you can make your AR as reliable as any weapon out there.

^ I'll go so far as to say that's the rule for every firearm. :)

And to add that with most, lubrication is more important than absolute cleanliness.
 
Seems this thread is 3 years old. I still have never had to mortar any of mine. In fact I have yet to witness any malfunctions in any of them. And at least one of them gets rode hard regularly.

I had a bad box of .300blk rounds last summer that I had to mortar a couple rounds because the BCG was jammed with the round wedged into the chamber. Mortaring a round free requires slamming the buffer tube against a solid object with a decent amount of force multiple times. Not something I want to do to my firearms. The need to mortar is not an issue until it is.
 
I had o mortar a 308 at deer camp years ago, after i fired it the empty round stuck bad. at that time i had no rod to knock it out with. bad part i had a scope on it and had to hit it hard a few times. well the glass broke. it was a cheaper scope though. i always have a rod in the truck now. best to have a solid one too. i don't think one of them aluminum cleaning rods would have worked.
 
My jarhead buddy Bill who I alluded to 3 years ago in this thread has on occasion gotten steel casings stuck in the chamber of his BCA. At least twice I've had to remedy it. I never needed to resort to mortaring it.

In operating AR's since the early 80's I've had to mortar one rifle just once, and it was because of a crap reloaded round.

I stick with Lake City or IWI. Mortaring would be a last resort to me. If I didn't have a rod on me ( I always do at the range) and couldn't wait to get back to the shop for some reason.
 
Sure wish Springfield would make a LevAR for my AR-10. With my scope mounted, I can get enough leverage to release the bolt and pull the charge handle back. Anyone else with the same issue?
