I want to add this based on my carbine class this past weekend. I understand if you can't afford a $2000+ rifle. However, you can afford a couple of good $14 magazines that run reliably. You can afford quality commercial ammo that goes BANG when you pull the trigger. You can afford a bottle of CLP or lube of choice to keep your rifle running during class. Class time is not the time to realize your surplus beat-to-hell mags don't run or your reman ammo won't shoot. It's also not the time to realize your rifle needs a clean and lube in order to function. There was a lot of time wasted in my class sorting out these issues that should have been addressed beforehand.

​@JohnathanMoss-v4x if you coughed up $800+ for a rifle, $200+ for some base irons or a rds, $50+ for a sling, $500+ to $1000+ for a class, and $350+ for a case of 1000 rounds (ymmv); that's about $2,900. You're telling me you can't spend another $13 per mag (×4 minimum, $52), and one small bottle of clp/lube at about $13? Like I don't come from money so I get it, but don't show up to class with out the minimum to keep your rifle running. Especially with cheaper rifles, you'll want to be keeping the shiny bits lubed up for smooth running, and the mags are what feeds your rifle. BTW, those prices are brand new gen 2 P mags, so like they should basically have no issue unless you get the freak anomaly. It's not much more than what you already invested. And if you start with a handgun course instead, A you should already have clp/oil/ lube, and B it's a much cheaper entry price. Glock is about $500, 4x pmags $52, ammo 1k rounds $300, good holster anywhere between $60 to $120 (although you can probably find cheaper ones that are decent), and class $600 to $900. So about $2k. Coming from no money sucks some times. You have to delay the gratification and put in extra time to get the nice stuff you want. You know what sucks more? sitting on the sidelines because you can't play, because you cut a corner, and your shit don't work now.

If you don't have bare minimum required 'reliable' gears, you ain't ready. Just don't sign up for the course and be burdden for other. It's free country, ppl can do whatever they want and make fool of themselves, as long as they don't waste MY time.

This is probably the most honest (and valuable) statement here. Before I pay for a class, on my range days I will "run it hard" to hopefully find out before a class. I do have pmags and use Winchester or PMC ammo - and they seem to work fine in my builds. Maybe it would be good to run them hard enough to failure - to learn how to clean/lube/etc it back to firing as quickly as possible.

@tomtomtheninja

Modern shooting is very focused on faster follow up accuracy and being able to move. With your hips facing away from the target and not having a solid wall behind the gun makes it more difficult to shoot fast and move from that position. You don’t walk sideways naturally, so why would you shoot and move that way? It’s inefficient.

No more dropping to a prone position by breaking the fall with the buttstock and rolling up into a firing position. More like land on the collapsible stock, stock collapses and break the fall with your face.

At around 10mins you say “put it on safety then lock the bolt back.” My rifle hammer isn't locked back yet so I wouldn't be able to put it on safety right? Until after I pull the bolt back the first time? I have that problem at the range too. What is formal procedure? Do I pull the bolt, put it on safety, then put the mag in, then drive the bolt forward? Or do I put the mag in, rack the bolt then put it on safety?
@mattk6827
@mattk6827 13 күн бұрын
Bolt locked back first, then put the mag in. Rewatch the vid around that point, beyond the steps and order of steps. Not being rude at all, better to learn the reason why you're doing things. The issue comes from a potential problem where a mag is stuffed or overloaded. If it is, if there's not enough free travel and the springs inside the mag are maxed out, it may not seat fully into the mag well. Not with the bolt run forward. So you lock the bolt back to get it out of the way. Now you have nothing but empty chamber and clearance above the mag well. When the mag goes in, now it can fully engage the mag lock (the part that prevents it from falling out). The mag release activates a spring loaded lever inside the upper portion of the mag well. You need to get the lip of the mag pushed up deep enough past it to spring that lock lever back over it to retain the mag. Now that the mag is secured, release the bolt to let it slide forward and chamber that first round. With weapon on safe. If your bolt isn't pulled back and your hammer is dropped (say you dry fired it), no you can't put the weapon on safe. The hammer's down. You'd have to pull back on the charging handle, pull that hammer back, then place it on safe. It doesn't do that in normal operation because each round that fires, the gas pushes the hammer back readying for another shot. So a 10rd mag, everything loaded up, one live shot taken, the bolt is closed (because it loaded the next round) and hammer is back/ready. Allowing the safety to be engaged. When dry firing there's no gas to push the hammer back (whole bolt slides back, ejects spent shell, resets hammer, springs forward grabbing/loading next round and chambering). Dry fire and getting the dead 'click' leaving the hammer down is the only situation where the selector is 'stuck' on fire.

Good info but muzzle orientation depends on the instructor. I've been to indoor classes where the instructor had told us when going on or off the line have your muzzle up, above eye level.

Drew. No SPORTS? I'm appalled. ... Mostly because when I was last in, SPORTS was still being taught - But with no focus on what, exactly, the "ORT" portion was. Thank you for stressing checking the chamber for obstructions in your malfunction breakdown; too many troops I served with ended up with double feeds because they didn't check the chamber.

Hadn't seen this until I posted my comment. The 'ort' part was O - observe the chamber, R - release the charging handle and T was tap the forward assist. If they were getting double feeds then yea, they were missing the 'o' in 'sports'.

It never stops amazing me when seeing all kinds of new people/ways of doing things and the number of little things a person would learn if they just WANT to be good at what they're doing and go out and shoot the damn rifle lol However; it also scares me to realize that is how ive learned and im certain there are bad habits i dont even realize i have. Definitely a good motive to take courses with people that actually know what theyre doing.

The craziest thing to me is their handling of their firearms they are so unfamiliar with them the way they don’t know how to rack the slide or doing stuff that almost causes a ND it’s amazing mind blowing to me.

Any tips for how to get a fore-grip off that has a stripped screw? I’m trying to get mine off my rifle but can’t get anything to grip the screw. Any information would be appreciated. Thank y’all.

This is a great video and 98% of it I absolutely agree with, like knowing your shit and being a safe student when you come to class. But the "We don't teach malfunctions" was genuinely surprising to hear like bro are you an instructor who is being paid to teach students or are they just paying to attend a range day with you?

We don't spend two hours teaching it because it takes up so much time. That's basic stuff to learn at a gun store. We cover it when it happens, but there's other things we need to get to.
