The Gun Digest Book of the AR-15

Iola, WI: Gun Digest, 2012. Soft cover. As New. 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall. LV2 From the preface, "..the main focus of this volume will be testing and abuse. I will be testing ARs in ways that you will not have read about except from declassified government testing. I must admit, and warn you, I do not have a multi-million dollar lab in which to test rifles, so there are limits. I cannot test to destruction although I do come very close in some instances. ..." "But, I buried them in dirt and sand, submerged them in water, dropped them from heights, ran over them with various vehicles, froze them and shot them with damaged ammo to get an idea of how much abuse they can withstand. When I was done I was still left with a question: Where are all these unreliable AR-15/M16s I've been hearing about? Because it was very, very hard to get them to malfunction and, short of damage, they wouldn't quit."
