    <big><strong>Technical Bulletin 6, Poor Performance of Winchester Q3131
    Ammunition</strong></big><br>
    <br>
    ArmaLite has recently received complaints of poor extraction and ejection with
    some
    rifles, disfigured cases, and &quot;blown&quot; primer failures with some lots
    of
    Winchester Q3131 5.56mm ammunition. Close inspection of the rifles involved
    discloses no
    defect.<br>
    <br>
    Review of Internet sites related to our rifles discloses that Q3131 is
    problematic in all
    brands of AR-15-type rifles. We conclude that the ammunition is suspect.<br>
    <br>
    We therefore recommend against sustained use of Q3131. If you have any on hand,
    we
    recommend that you return it at the first sign of failure.<br>
    <br>
    We absolutely recommend against using Q3131 in Law Enforcement or other
    applications
    requiring absolute confidence in ammunition.<br>
    <br>
    We will provide more information as we get it.</font></p>
