due to the necessity to constantly clean its parts, if you are not able to do so, then, it will not work properly. Also during the Vietnam war in 1969 it became the US military standard service rifle replacing the M14 rifle in such role. Since the Vietnam war this gun has been the primary service rifle of the US Armed Forces.
My experience to this weapon was during my ROTC training. Me and my fellow Cadets were required to assemble and disassemble the rifle. It was a fun thing to do and fairly easy than what i expected. I'm looking forward to own this type of gun one day.
