Very nicely done. I am a Vet and I trained with an M16. But that was in 1986, and I’ve forgotten a few things. Your video was a nice reminder of the similarities. For instance, I forgot the forward assist was called the forward assist. It’s interesting that you mentioned it’s rarely used with the AR15, whereas we were taught SPORTS. (Slap in the mag, Pull the charging handle, Observe the chamber, Release it, Tap - the forward assist, and Squeeze.) You are probably familiar with that. So I suppose with the AR15 it would be SPORS. Anyway, great video. I learned a lot.
Duncan, that was great! Thanks for putting this together for us. Looking at sights now to accessorize my new AR-15. How about a vid on your sighting recommendations and how to get our rifles ready for the range.
A very good presentation on basic operation of an AR 15. Suggestions, get a rifle vise or build a simple stand to hold the rifle. Also if you are going to talk about the amo ... please clarify and be specific as to the caliber of amo that can be fired in an AR15, is based on the specific caliber the rifle is chambered to fire. Yes a rifle chambered in 5.56 it can safely fire 2.33 , but not the reverse safely. Let us not forget 9mm. This can't be an issue glanced over, in any presentation.that is not geared to the topic.Thanks
I have that magazine lock and it’s actually pretty spectacular if you can find where to buy one. Comes with two Abus keys and you can order new keys directly from Abus. I think I got mine from White Oak Armory a couple years ago. If you lost the keys, you can mill it out with tools. It’s not a permanent theft solution, but it makes it so that nobody can just grab your AR and some magazines and go on a shooting spree without spending at least a few hours in a garage with some tools to get the lock out of the magazine well. It also locks the upper onto the lower. The only improvement I could see to this is perhaps adding a metal loop that could be locked onto a cable to make it harder to steal from a vehicle. Apparently, the company that developed these also made them for Glock handguns, but those are impossible to find. If anyone knows of any just shoot me a response, please. Decent variant basic operations video. I didn’t need it, but was curious about what you had to say.
much tks brother for the video, the first one was very well explained , but was hard as you've said, to see the whole rifle. again tks for this video, keep up the good job.
I also live in what you would call an "unfriendly" state, and to be honest my own views on firearms would probably be considered "unfriendly" too. I do own a rifle inherited from my grandfather, who taught me target shooting on his property when I was very young. I cherish it and will continue to vote for the right of other people to have those same experiences, but I do not believe that civilians need (or are constitutionally guaranteed) access to the degree of firepower most of your viewers probably do. Frankly, I have no idea why this video came up in my recommendations. All this to say, even though we likely disagree, I wanted to comment on how professional and educational this video is. I particularly appreciated that you discussed proper safety precautions first, and then repeatedly throughout the video. I also valued the efficient explanation that covers the basics without assuming the viewer has any prior knowledge of use or terminology. You focused on the important info without editorializing, and alluded to your personal views without getting into politics. This is exactly the kind of video I would show someone I wanted to be more educated on the subject of gun control, so that they know what they're talking about before calling for bans on this or that. And if everyone calling for lightened gun control laws demonstrated the same degree of responsibility as you, I feel like we as a nation would have much more productive conversations. Cheers
Thank you for the video! I just got one last week and still learning! I noticed you have blocks on the rail, that would raise your optic, how does it change the cheek weld?
I dink it's a brilliant idea that to make the safety bar EZr to operate, u just bend it outwards away from the rcvr. As to operate it (after i did ur bend suggestion), i've also found it's EZr to use my RH thumb's top to pull the lever up, then push it down w the underside of my same thumb. All this time, the rest of my RH fingers n palm r still gripping the pistol grip n my LH is still holding the front armguard all the time. Cheers, n Thx for ur ideas here in the video
Great video,, 👍🏻 and yes I live in a unfriendly state also where you have a 10 round Magazine restriction but I can go out of state and purchase 30 round Magazine's and it's perfectly legal because I'm purchasing it out of state.
If the bolt is locked to the rear, it would still slam forward. The charging handle is basically just a device to pull the bolt back. If the bolt is locked to the rear, it doesn't matter where the charging handle is. The bolt will still slam forward. In fact, in the Army, when we did inspections, we woud lock the bolt to the rear, then slide the charging handle back forward to lock it. After inspection, we would just hit the bolt release.
This is the lock - it’s made by gunvault but unfortunately it looks like it’s discontinued. www.midwayusa.com/product/1014540662?srsltid=AfmBOooGPpj-wFNAuHicIDpEvHhufA-vJmEiGS4p9i2nd_-IEEoweOTR&pid=391271
California, for instance, requires a FIXED mag with a capacity of no more than 10 rounds. Colorado went to a 10 round rule, which caused MagPull's manufacturing element to leave Colorado.
How to use an AR-15 Step 1: make sure you run out and buy old outdated Magpul garbage furniture despite the fact that there's far superior options available.
Can someone tell me how long this magazine gun lock 🔐 been around?? because if this been around for a while this could’ve prevent any school shootings I believe so for all of these god damn ant-gun hater’s why didn’t they think of something like this also, this goes to show you how sneaky the government and these most Democrat politicians are they could’ve been promoting this type of Gunlock. We need to promote this Gunlock more. This is the first time I’ve ever seen something like this, so please we as the 2A community Need to push this more this lock
Good for spare guns you’re not using for self-defense in your home to keep children from getting into it but I don’t see how it would’ve prevented school shootings where there’s a will there’s a way, but that is a good product. Happy to see it. Thanks for the simple video for the guys that aren’t familiar with rifles.
You were the first video I watched on how to use a pistol when I first bought a gun. Thanks for these great videos.
Awesome - and thanks for watching!

Anyway, great video. I learned a lot.
Thank you and thanks for watching! And thank you for your service!
People should get used to always doing a press check and then tapping the forward assist to make sure the bolt goes into battery.
Honestly very relaxing to watch while also being very informative
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching!
Great video, maybe add some comments on safe procedures to unload if one stops shooting before magazine is empty
Thank you and I absolutely will for next time! Thanks for watching!
Great video and very informative and helpful for a newcomer looking for a simple way of learning about the AR-15

Great video Duncan. Thank you. Hoping you do one on breaking it down for a general cleaning / oiling. Best wishes, Mark.

Might want to operate the safety each time you drop the bolt. Good muscle memory to emulate for beginners.
That’s an excellent point! Thanks for watching!
Great info vid. Would be nice to know manufacturer names of most common AR15.
Will do

At about 7 minutes and 20 seconds when you push the release button, what would happen if the charging handle was in and not pulled out?
Thanks for watching! If the handle isn’t charged the release button won’t do anything
If the bolt is locked to the rear, it would still slam forward. The charging handle is basically just a device to pull the bolt back.
