This prototype forge rifle from Legion Firearms has no issues emptying a magazine after taking a healthy serving of dirt into the ejection port. That nickel-boron coating really works.

funny, Legion is name of performance center (or special order) of Izhmash/Saiga
Having spent lots of time in very sandy environments while using a M4/M16 I would ask how is this a test? My much older, issued, M4 was exposed to much dirtier conditions DAILY, with oil on it and worked fine. So I must ask how is this in anyway a test that proves anything to the end user?
Watching the video he tossed some dirt and rocks on a closed bolt M4 picked it up dumped off the dirt, inserted a mag and work the charging handle to chamber a round. All of those actions caused most if not all of the dirt to fall off leaving nothing more than a light coating of dust on the bolt.
I contend that this is not a test of any type and proves nothing about the weapons ability to function when CLOGGED with dirt, sand or heavy dust.
I personally tested one of their prototype LF-15D rifles in texas, throwing it around driving a car over it, dumping nasty sticky mud into an open bolt, and after it choked through a pmag of tap rack bang the second mag fired with out a malfunction. I then locked the bolt to the rear and let it sit in the sun and cook all the wet mud in the chamber dry. After that I ran it without lube for the next 2 days of a Magpul Dynamics course with out a malfunction. Legion builds a solid weapon and their products perform as advertised.
You’re right. It’s not a test. It’s a demonstration.
Most ARs have no problem doing that, as Mike Pannone showed in a video a year or two ago.
