Slightly different than a defensive AR, but I wouldn’t take a bolt action rifle out hunting, after cleaning the barrel, without a few fouling shots.

Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.
Best man I ever knew was a Marine. He taught me how to field strip, clean & reassemble the M1 Garand, M14 and 1911 when I was just a wee lad- and they had to pass the function checks. When asked why I joined the Air Force, I'd tell people 20 years in the Marine Corps was long enough. Crayons were after his day, but I'm sure he'd appreciate the sentiment.
Memorial Day is this weekend and its coming makes me realize just how much I miss him.
Yeah. Send Medusa a box of Crayons...
PS- Send me some too

Send me some crayons, sure. I’ve been around enough Marines in my life to appreciate the sentiment. But, I ain’t the one who thinks magic voodoo shit happens after field strip and reassembly. 🤷*♀️ Let me alter one of my favorite Carroll Smith quotes again. “The firearm, being an inanimate object, must .... respond to reason.”
Sorry, but my maintenance decisions on defensive weapons also include legal considerations as I’ve explained repeatedly. I’m not over cleaning, and I’m sure there’ll be days I run my AR over 500 in a day. I understand the weapons are not made of sugar and spice and won’t melt if allowed to sit with some crud in them any more than do my pistols. I’ll watch the vid later. To say I don’t put defensive weapons up dirty isn’t to say I obsess over every spec of dirt. If you saw my race cars, you’d understand.
Well, I gave you a firsthand account. You can do with it what you want.
Are you talking function check with a dummy round or just cycle the action, trigger reset, fire, safety?
Another one that comes to mind is that unfortunately not all AR MFR’s taper bore the cam pin hole on the bolt like they’re supposed to. This, you could put the bolt in backwards. The gun would pass your function check and you’d sling your first piece of brass into the receiver instead of out. That just might cause a malfunction.
