Probably sounds silly to most....

I have recently had a Colt AR-15 A2 come into my posession. I know how to fire the blasted thing, but I really don't know much about the care and cleaning of same. The Navy had me firing everything but this type of rifle, so I am a little out of my element. I hear they can be a bit cantankerous if not cleared after use, so I am wondering where I can find a good guide to doing basic cleaning and maintenance. I know everyone else is an expert and can probably do all this blindfolded and in a gunny sack, but not me.
 
Bushmaster's website has a link to download an owners manual. Good pics and directions. That and youtube has lots of videos as well as this site. Many posts on cleaning. AR15.com has a section just for cleaning. Just a few off the top of my head.
 
PM me with your e-mail address and I'll send you the Army Manual on the M16in .pdf format. It will show you how to work it, and how to clean and maintain it.

PS: Its a good rifle, hang on to it.
