I had a bad habit of releasing the bolt on an AR15 with the release lever and not pulling back on the charging handle. Sometimes we just need to be told things.
Thanks for posting.

Good, solid instruction. Thanks.
How did everybody else like the shelves behind him? It looked like he has every cartridge ever made.

I am forever advising students or friends not to flick their wrists to close the cylinder on their revolvers or they can spring the crane. About half the time... I get this reply.

Hey all you can do is provide the information,
what they choose to do with it, is up to them.

Yeah, JM is definitely the master. Love that the mentioned dry firing and one possible issue, but wish he had mentioned others. I know dry firing is a hot button topic, so I'll leave it at that.

Just got back from changing my shirt. It got very wet with my drool over all the bullets and ammo on the wall behind him.

Didn’t know that. I’ll pay attention next time I’m shooting an AR.
Thanks.
