A Proper Way to Load an AR-15

Loading an AR 15 isn’t complicated, yet we hear clicks when BANGs are expected very often, so apparently it is is more complicated than it seems. Regardless of your application, it helps to have a procedure that you stick to in order to insure that the rifle along with lights, lasers and optics are working properly prior to shooting. This is a common procedure that many people use. If you have any other methods or additions or subtractions, feel free to drop them in the comment section.

And buy all your magazines from Gunmag Warehouse.

  1. I keep it simple, like Uncle Sugar taught me, many moons ago, slam a mag in the magwell, give it a tug to make sure it's seated, rack the charging handle, give the forward assist a little pop, and close the dust cover if it's an admin load. If it's a reload, drop the mag with my trigger finger, flick the rifle to ensure the empty drops, simultaneously, grab a fresh mag(usually from my belt, i like to rotate mags to my quick reload position, on my belt, where I have Fastmags), slam it in the magwell, tug to make sure it's seated, drop the bolt(I love BAD Levers for this, these days), and back on the target! Nothing fancy, just thousands and thousands of repetitions, until I can, and have, done it in zero visibility, in the pitch dark, wearing NODs, where I can see for miles, but not what's 1 foot under my nose!

  2. If it is in the truck, no mag home, it is locked back. In the house, locked back with a mag home. Then I know I can easily slam even the cheapest of poly mags home even while over loaded and get them to seat. Drop the bolt, and G2G.

  3. I like to use the bad lever to lock the bolt back, seat the mag knowing I don't have to fight the BCG to seat it, then drop the bolt like an HK style reload.
