Like the title says, I dropped my AR in a creek trying to go hunting. More specific, the creek was flowing very fast and the canoe I was in flipped me into 35 degree water and my AR sank. Doublestar lower with a Bushmaster 5.56 upper, Magpul stuff and an EOTech on top. My Brother-In-Law found it after the water level receded and I have it back, starting the cleaning process. There was a lot of dirt/mud build-up in all the nooks and cranies, but everything is salvageable and the EOTech is still functional.

This was in Big Wheeling Creek outside of Wheeling. The outside isn't too bad, but there was a shit-ton of dirt deposits on the inside of the chamber, handguards, BCG, buffer tube and lower reciever.
