AR and Cold Weather
The only confirmed cold weather weakness demonstrated by the Stoner/M16/M4/AR style rifles is in the piston guns (SIG and HK).
The Scandinavian's report that piston will freeze up solid if the guns are brought inside from the cold and then taken back outside. The condensation freezed and locks up the piston and the rifle will not function until it is thawed out.
This does not happen in their DI rifles.
When run wet with lube a good AR with good mags will function with a very high level of reliablity....hot/cold/clean/dirty...
Junk/parts guns not so much...
