I do agree that you need practice stripping the magazine IF it gets stuck, but if you've maintained your magazines and clean your gun, you wouldn't need to actually strip a mag unless it's some really bad mag or you've got a double feed. I've learned from Magpul during a speed reload, or emergency reload, you look at the bolt to see if it is not a malfunction, rotate the mag well towards the left in one motion the moment you press the mag release. The momentum sends the mag flying and you reload
This helps me alot cause I'm enlisting soon so this would givem e an idea on to how to fire a weapon like that, nice weapon btw. Is that ACOG or Red Dot?
I really like this video. Thanks for posting as it covers a lot of information. I like the stock you have on your rifle. Is that an upgrade you did? Where did you get the mag pouch from? I am looking for one like that.
@3RiversMI That's the Magpul CTR stock, very easy to change yourself. The Mag pouch I would say is only good for range use, it doesn't feel as durable as some others. But it's pretty ok, it's a Bladetech or 5.11 now, I think they got bought out...
Nice video I learned a lot. I've just finished doing a Saiga conversion using Russian Arsenal parts so I'm undecided what my next build should be; and AR or FAL type build? Your videos make me want to do both!
@npconman Hm, well, AR = more variety of parts, easier to shoot, cheaper ammo. FAL = more unique and more powerful round (in case you want to go hunting with it). So it's up to you :-)
If understand what you're asking then no. Consider the conditions that the AR15/M16 is made to perform under(combat). It is meant to be released as demonstrated.
You're not damaging or increasing the amount of stress or wear on the receiver/bolt.
of course not. Every time you fire the weapon the bolt cycles back and forth with no easing. that happens thousands of times over the course of the rifle's life. There's no need to ease it, and when you see most people charging their weapon they intentionally let it ride back automatically, insteading of easing it forward.
There are different types of reloads. Reloads for self-defense/combat are meant to be simple requiring little to no fine motor skill. Target shooters also have their own methods designed for speed and efficiency. If you didn't like the video then why did you comment? Why would you search a topic (that you know you need no help with) watch the video and then be an ass? If you don't like the vid just be a nice-mature person and don't comment.
I gave you a thumbs up for this comment just to cheer you up alittle. I didnt search this topic just ended up here some how. You must be one of the idiots that need help with this, LMAO
@bsrman36 They are called "trolls." The best thing to do is to ignore them. They act like a fool because they enjoy the attention it gets. Like a child throwing a tantrum.
The forward assist was designed to be used on the rare occasion that a round fails to chamber. If you had shot a lot rounds of because of combat or whatever the chamber became dirty you would still have a chance to shove a round in. I use this weapon on reular basis and train others to use it and in over 20 years I have never had to use it. But in combat yoru back ups, need back up. So I like having the option when the SHTF. Keep the weapon clean no issues!
The follower in the empty mag pushes up on the bolt stop that gets in the way of the bolt coming back forward. It's a nifty feature that H&K can never figure out...
The forward assist was added to aid in putting the bolt into battery (completely locked forward) if it fails to on its own. I don't like to force a round in if it doesn't want to go in on its own, I'd rather just charge the handle and load a fresh round...
Hm, I've been getting this question a lot, sorry I didn't mention it in the video, the charging handle is only used to load the first round if the bolt is forward. In a "reload" the bolt should be locked to the rear or a round should already be in the chamber, making it unneccessary to use the charging handle. Maybe I'll update the video again sometime in the future...
So when he pulls the magazine out, is he hitting the release button below the "bolt stop" lever on the side of the rifle? or does the magazine come out automatically when pulled?
and for example when he puts the full magazine in the rifle, how does the bullet load into the chamber of the rifle? Does it occur when he slaps the lever on the side?
There is a magazine release button on the right side of the weapon, I'm fairly certain I pointed it out in the video. And yes, to release the bolt, loading the next round, hitting the bolt stop on the left side does that.
Please feel free to ask me anything if you're still unsure.
You have really nice AR15. Check the magpul parts dedicate for m4/ AR15 platform. MBUS, PMAG, ASAP system. This parts are really help do your platform to use quicker..... you know ......
It's for whenever you need to manually operate the bolt. That's basically only when you're first loading the weapon from a bolt forward position, you have to operate the bolt to load the first round, to clear a malfunction, or to lock the bolt back. But if you're shooting, and you run out of ammo, the bolt locks to the rear waiting for you to hit the bolt stop, so you don't need to use the charging handle.
Only the first time you load the weapon. You don't store the weapon with the bolt locked to the rear to prevent spring wear. When the weapon isn't being used, the bolt is forward and the weapon is on safe. So the first time you load the weapon to fire it, you load a magazine with rounds in it, and you pull the charging handle to the rear which pulls the bolt to the rear. Let it go (don't ride it forward) to load a round into the chamber.
Also my original comment wasn't directed at you I believe, either way, and I am not trying to troll. I actually liked the video, I was commenting on something someone else said.
Ugh...I hate it when people slap the magazine when inserting a magazine. It is bad for the magazine well, magazine, rounds (if loaded) and the lip of the magazine release on the inside of the mag well (depending of which types of mags are used).
Just because it looks tacticool does not make it right. All you would have to do to IF you wanted to make sure is just give it a slight tug downwards.
Whoa there buddy, I hope you can hear me on that high horse of yours. Just because it is something you don't like to do doesn't mean it's done just to be "tacticool." Because you do realize that you might as well call the DOD and tell them to stop trying to be "tacticool" since the military still teaches that the best way to ensure the magazine is seated correctly is to slap the magazine. What do you think the first step in SPORTS is for? It's not TTORTS for "Tug on magazine" is it??
The weapon upside down so I could SLAM the mag into a locked position, as a previous weapon operator I firmly support push/pull or tug. Current tactical shooting schools also support this method.
And before you go "SPORTS is for malfunctions noob" DUH, my point is that the first step in that is to ensure the magazine is properly seated, and the accepted method for this is to slap the magazine. It's simply the fastest and surest way to know. Who knows, your aluminum magazine can be so bloated from use that it might not budge from a tug... I've never had one THAT bloated, but who knows...
Well geez go back to bootcamp? The DOD is 10-15 years behind the cutting edge of new tactical shooting techniques. Slapping the mag doesn't actually ensure that the mag is seated... all you have done is hit the bottom of the mag. IT would make me think that if you feel that this is effective that you have never actually operated a M-16/M4 in shitty conditions. You know, when mags stop working how they are supposed to? In fact I have personally used mags that were so poor that I literally turn
Just because the US military teaches a certain way does not mean it is always correct. In fact, the UK military specifically mentions to never slap the magazine (which are all STANAG) for the specific reason that in bad environments, it could cause a double feed (don't believe me ? take a magazine out, and slap the bottom. chances are a round will unseat from the mag), or foul up the bolt assembly.
Oh trust me, for all of the amazing things that the US Military can do, their instructional program on teaching COMBAT shooting is actually pretty poor. I was not only in the US Military but also a shooting instuctor. I would always get into trouble for teaching things that were not part of the classes. Different types of reloads. different methods of thought. Most Marines go shooting worried about what score they are going to get, instead of worrying about how to perform in combat.
I'm not saying not to employ the tug method if you so choose, but I do go around the internet with my smug attitude just for a chance to talk crap. There's a term for that, I'll give you a hint, it starts with a "t" and ends with "roll." But I still find it funny that every firearm instructor/training course/advice from friends I have received, the first step when encountering a malfunction is to ensure the mag is seated, and it's ALWAYS done by slapping it.
I guess you're saying that they are basically teaching everyone to damage their magazines while causing a double feed and all the while it doesn't actually verify that the mag is seated? Alright then, I'll let them all know to never slap the magazine since you said so...
And I never actually said to slap the magazine, I just did it while I was talking about it. If you actually watch me perform the reloads, I just insert the mags "firmly." But I know you had to try to find something to talk down to or else you're not very effective as an internet troll. I get it. :-) If you want to reply with your own video, please feel free. But I think arguing about it is pretty pointless. Unless you want the last word, go right ahead.
It's not so much that I was looking for someone to talk down to, most people are just so... smug in this topic. I think it all comes down to common sense. First off however, everyone does tap rack bang because that is what the DOD has been teaching since Vietnam, I get ino huge discussions about this and I basically feel that in a situation when the bolt is foward it's not a huge problem if you tap or slap the bottom of the mag. The idea is though that when in a high-stress situation you
Are going to revert back to your training. The combination of fear, stress, and adrenaline is going to make it very difficult to think clearly. So what to do? Decrease the amount of things you have to think about, and increase the amount of times you do the exact same thing. So, if its ok to tap when the bolt is foward but not ok to do it when its lock to the rear (for instance during a speed reload) then you want to choose a method that is good for both instances
So that you don't have to think about it when you actually do it. Just ask yourself, does slapping the mag actually check to see if it is seated? No it does not. I am not saying that these old methods are wrong, persay... they are just... old. They are outdated and while the tactical shooting community has been learning more and more about the AR-15/M-16 weapon platform, the techinques that go along with that have changed. So in closing, we have to keep an open mind toward new systems of
Yes sir, this 2-point sling acts like a more complicated 3-point sling because it attaches to the sides. There are two ways of doing this, either an adaptor that wraps around the front of your handguard with the sling attachment on the side, or you can simply get a sling swivel that attaches to the picatinny rails if you have a quad-rail handguard like mine. :-) Works very well.
i mean come on..... this is a joke. If you dont know how to work your rifle...READ The gun booklet or just turn on your brain. I mostly blame hollywood movies, video games for any stupidity when people use firearms.
if you have a double feed or something also when you want to keep the weapon cleared you need to get the bolt back. and some people that build their own lowers don't bother with the bolt catch. I about didn't put mine in but i decided to take the nic on the receiver and do it and im glad i did but its not a (put it on or the gun don't work) part.
The gun will function without it, but then you lose a lot of function, for what, to save $10? Reloading is so much faster when the bolt holds open after the last shot. One reason I am not a fan of H&K. Other than their AR-15 style rifles, they seem to be against that concept...
Yah, everytime I post a video, I watch it a few times and realize I left something out. So I have to redo them, but really really busy, and sometimes it's a while before I find the time. Thanks for the compliments. I plan on making new handgun videos again to get even more in-depth.
I get them from 44mag, just add the appropriate ending to that, youtube won't let me post links in comments, and I think they are there for $14 or $18 with the window to see how many rounds you have left.
Yah, I re-did all of my AR15 videos except for the assembly and disassembly, that will come soon. My first reload vid only mentions the emergency reload, I didn't mention any other...
I do agree that you need practice stripping the magazine IF it gets stuck, but if you've maintained your magazines and clean your gun, you wouldn't need to actually strip a mag unless it's some really bad mag or you've got a double feed.
