AR-10 Errata sheet
So i check them and nothing. I did find an interesting Errata sheet "This errata sheet provides information that isn't contained in the AR-10 Owner’s
Manual, or highlights information that is extremely important"
Should come in handy for noob like me.
This was the most complete info i found. They were using an AR-15 though and i personally do not know the difference between AR's.
"The coldest I have used military issued weapons was negative 56 degree F. (Fort Greely AK.)
M16s worked with all the lube removed, but would jam up when removed from a semi-warm M-113 A-Cav. It would eventually work again when all the metals became the same temp. Break Free becomes thick and glue-like at those temps.
Arcttic brake fluid or kerosene works well as cold temp lube.
The coldest I have used personally owned weapons was Neg 76 F at Fort Yukon Ak,
(Winter of 82-83).
My S&W m-25-5 revolver jammed rock solid when I pulled it out from under my parka. (trying to shoot a rabid dog.)
A tiny bit of petroleum based lube acted like a weld. I later cleaned it with acetone and then lubed it with silver dry graphite.
My 1911A1 did not like to fire more than a couple shots at that temp. My personal AR-15 patrol car gun did not work at 76 below, but my Finnish Valmet M-76 FS did when I dry lubed it.
