3 Articles Addressing Concerns with Reliability of the AR System

These are 3 articles by Michael Pannone, published by Defense Review, several years ago (h/t Western Rifle Shooters Assoc.):

(1) AR-15/M4/M4A1 Carbine Reliability Issues: Why They Occur, and Why They’re Our Fault!

(2) M4/M4A1 Carbine Reliability Issues Part II: Diagnosing the root cause.

(3) The Big M4 Myth: ‘Fouling caused by the direct impingement gas system makes the M4/M4A1 Carbine unreliable.’

The last article provides some advice on how to make your AR more reliable.
