Recon_Ninja_985 Pripyat Dawn Mec-Gar's pretty much the s**t for making magazines. Bring personal magazines, if it gets down to it. Doubt you can for basic, though. Open the magazine up, put CLP on the spring and the internal of the magazine. Makes me feel better, at least. CLP the ******** out of the part where the slide rides the frame. Same with the feed ramp at the back of the barrel. I'd prolly reccommend against putting any lube in the magazine, sounds like it could only accumulate dirt I think graphite is the lube of choice for that very reason.

Recon_Ninja_985 Valkyrie Hatter Recon what were you issued for a pistol? not everyone is issued one, it all depends on your MOS too. very few soldiers even get issued pistols. and I doubt anyone in military intelligence gets them until they hit the WO or O-1 pay grade if they ever do get issued them at all. which means our friend here is either going to have to go to college and get commissioned or is going to have to reenlist several times over the next 20 years. What I was told by my recruiter is that if I get sent to a war zone as a civil affairs analyst or a similar Intel job I'll be given a pistol for self defense.

What I was told by my recruiter is that if I get sent to a war zone as a civil affairs analyst or a similar Intel job I'll be given a pistol for self defense. recruiters can tell you any nonsense that sounds good to you.
my advice is to talk to some other soldiers and ask them if you will get issued one. sign yourself up for an AKO account and talk to some soldiers who are in that MOS.
self defense is what an m4 is for, I dont see why they would give you anything else unless you were an MP,aviator,armor crewman,officer or medic. I could have been issued a pistol if I was in a flight company but I was stuck in a maintenance company instead.
civil affairs isnt even in the same category as intelligence either, and even there it's likely that only officers get pistols like most MOS's
here's a list of intelligence MOS's http://www.us-army-info.com/pages/mos/intelligence/intelligence-mos.html

They're supposed to be more civilian than others, so they don't carry M4's.

I mean, ********, my recruiter told me I'd be a high-speed joe, The Eyes of Death. I signed up in a combat MOS.
I'M STUCK BEHIND A DESK. Actually, AT a desk, with a number of other people, reading the field manual about my job and playing games on our phones. And when we hit the 'box? I'll be stuck at the TOK, with my only actual job being to yell out s**t when we get mortar'd, so I'll be stuck with guard duties and details all the time.
I don't get a pistol either. I don't even get an M4. I get an M16A2. Yes, an A2. THey took away my M4 so the officers would have them, even though they are even more emplaced in the TOK than I am, since I CAN be taken outside the wire if I can weasel in on a patrol.

I thought the 16 was relegated to training these days.
