Complete quote about carbines:
The context of the article is a Bravo Company AR-15 carbine that was used extensively. The gun was kept properly lubricated but received no other maintenance.
It still shot 2" groups at 50 yards at the time the article was written.
Mr. Rogers pointed out that the BCM carbines are very good quality and his previous experience was part of why the experiment was run.
He attributes the performance of this AR-15 carbine to: a good design, the quality of the BCM product and the use of Slip 2000 EWL.
