Re: Getting rid of the wretched "SPRONG"
Back when the M16 first came upon the scene, there was a cartoon character named Gerald McBoingboing. Owing to the characteristic 'Boing', the M16 was attributed as the bastard offspring of Matty Mattel and Gerald McBoingboing.
All we ever did was wipe down the spring, buffer, and cavity, then regrease with whatever heavy grease was available down at the motor pool.
The operative term was 'Glop'.
