I used Wolf , Winchester , some Remington and about 6,000 of my own hand loads. Yes it could fail but I have put that little rifle through the test, dirt, going uncleaned, wet, and just plain shot alot at times never a hang up to go into battery. At our range there is a class 3 club and I have shot one or 2 of the rifles that show up and not many have hung up I'am not saying it doesn't happen but it happens in them all every now and then.

It's more when the weapon is subjected to field conditions of sand & mud.
In fairness the M16's not near as bad as some make out. It beats the British Enfield bullpup & the Mini 14. It's just not like an AK for firing even with cement in the action. The M16 is like a like a GMC pickup. Fairly reliable but not like a Toyota (AK).

O0 your so right I just may be a little bias I really like the accuracy with the AR 15 VS the AK it may have a major slant on my view

I've heard of Marine Shooting team guys holding 2-3" groups at 600 yards with iron sighted AR-15s using 77gr match ammo! :o That's sub .5 MOA!!
No AK ever built will do that with any ammo in any caliber. Not even a Dragunov.
