Came back from a visit to the range where I put 200 rounds of Blazer 124gr FMJ through my 16" CMMG RDB AR9. I know how dirty the rifle can get due to the blowback nature so I usually clean it right after the range time, today I get a surprise as I removed the bolt:
No doubt there's a lot of carbon fouling in there but on top of that, is that mildew I'm seeing? How can it form within a couple of hours after the range? I'm in CA where the air is dry, sun is bright, and there was no rain either. I'm sure those where not there at the range since the mildew looking substance is on top of the carbon fouling. Anyone have seen this before?
