There is the account of the Ranger School student whose barrel fell off in Florida Phase, but they were doing a lot of waterborne patrols and something fishy was particular about his M4.
That must have been embarrassing for the student or the armorer responsible for the weapon.
Regarding your comment on assembly grease: consider me now mindful. Since you mentioned it, what are some of your recommendations? Bear in mind that my AR family lives in the high desert, where salt and humidity are a dirty lie told by vengeful builders.
