Richnorth, The AR15 was definitely subject to jamming, not as true for the M1. It was almost as reliable as the AK47. The AK47 was certainly superior in that environment. If memory serves me, the AK47 could use the M1 ammo, but not necessarily vice versa. The M1 used 30-06 while the AK47 uses the 7.62 x 39 round which is the same as NATO and the chinese assault rifle uses. In almost all weaponry used in VietNam, they could use our ammo in their's, but we could not use their ammo in ours. Never found that dirt caused the M1 to malfunction. It could fire after being pushed through mud and dirt. Could not say that about the AR15. As I said before, I could stand the extra weight to have a more reliable rifle. Terry
