Lets settle this once and for all /k/.Using the charging handle to reload is better than using the bolt release on the AR-15, to always ensure a properly seated round, correct? Using the charging handle doesnt take that much more time either.
shut up FAGGOT
>>64686846Fuck yamudda
>>64686846The bolt locks back on an empty magazine, what are you talking about?>>64686860please refer to this
>>64686846Please explain why the bolt release is less reliable at properly seating a round.
No guns.
>>64686846>This post was typed by nogunz handsUse the bolt release faggot, the buffer spring is stronger than you anyhow, it'll always chamber without you groping it like a fagShit post
>>64687789Technically, the BCG isnt completely maxed out in rearward travel when it gets caught by the bolt catch. So, if you pull it back when It is locked back, you'll get a little bit more spring compression which translates to more forward momentum. More forward momentum means less of a chance of hanging up on dirt and debris and failing to chamber the round.I said technically because its basically bullshit and doesnt matter unless you are in the shit and have little option of performing remedial action. If you are worried at all about failure of going into battery, you should spend time tending to your magazine feed lips (if they need it) and of course making sure your gun is clean and oiled with operable parts.
>>64686846The opposite of this is true. You're much more likely to ride the charging handle or just fail to release at its apex and induce a malfunction than you would be if you just used the bolt release. You have no idea how many "professionals" I've seen induce a double feed by fucking with the charging handle instead of just using the gun as designed. Literally the only time you should touch the charging handle is to lock the bolt to the rear when the weapon is clear or to do remedial action if the rifle malfunctions. >>64687789He can't. It's not. It's orders of magnitude more reliable, especially under stress or in confined spaces.
