Oh don't worry, once I get the hang of field stripping it I'll clean it very often.

You don't need to clean it often. What is needed is lube lots of lube. Run your AR wet with oil. In my case grease.

I clean my AR every 1k or so.

Anyway field striping is easy. There is only one way to take it apart and only one way to put it back.

I'm waiting for Magpul ACS stock to be available. It will be my seven complete lower I own. Probably my last tho for a long time unless there is another interesting stock coming out.

I thought a Supreme Court ruling threw out Colt's trademark?

But, at any rate, the M4 and its technical package becomes government property in June, I believe. Of course, whether or not that also applies to the nomenclature "M4" (assuming I'm incorrect and Colt's trademark is still valid) is an entirely different story.

The instruction manual that came with it called it an XM15 M4A3, so maybe catalogs call them "M4 type carbines" but they call it what it is.

It didn't go to that high of a court.
The ruling was that M4 was a generic term that could not be copyrighted since "M4" and "M4A1" are designations used by the US military so therefore those names fall in the public domain.

Well, I guess that's what I get for trusting Wikipedia...
