I feel that the AR-18 is a tiny bit more fiddly than the AR-15 when it comes to field strip; aligning the recoil springs, BCG, charging handle just right takes a certain touch. It's hard to explain, but it's easy to misalign the BCG and bolt when re-assembling the gun. It's not necessarily more reliable, either, although most of the malfunctions I have experienced with the 18 were magazine related (either the original Armalite magazine, or converted AR-15 USGI mags). Also, good luck when parts break. My gunsmith took 8 months to hand-file a new, more robust auto-sear assembly when mine broke.
Years ago I posted a AR-18 field strip thread here, but I think it's been lost to the ages.
