Wait.all of the mags I've stuffed in my rifle have enough room to function properly when fully loaded.
YMMV with your mags, mag catch & bolt. Working your gear to find the right methods are what's key.
Feel free to hand me your downloaded rounds, I'll send 'em.
That must be my doppelganger Rodger Dickinson.Aren't you an AK guy?
I must have you confused with someone else. Were you at the Vickers class?That must be my doppelganger Rodger Dickinson.
AKs have their uses. Namely: clubs, shovels, tent poles, and splints.
Unless you have one of those full-auto ones, and those are also good for illumination and noise making.
.30 cal bullets should be fired from a cartridge longer than 50mm. And I'm being generous there, as I'd prefer nothing shorter than 54mm.

Dude, it's 2022. It's push/pull, rack, reassess.Both mine (AR's) will seat a fully loaded steel mag with a closed bolt with a tap. I do not download anything ever. 30 is 30.
To be fair, no they will not seat with insert alone. They need a nudge. This is inherently one of the most common malfunctions. Why it is so important to get into the following rhythm when doing ANY mag change, bolt closed or not. Tactical or administrative.
Tap. Rack. Bang.

A big thank you to @nad63, Revere's Riders, and all the shooters and volunteers for such a great day. The weather was great, we pushed our carbine boundaries, assessed our skills and gear, and had a safe and eventful day.
Huzzah!
I conquer with all of this.There were certainly some good shooters on that line. We're just a little bit better today hopefully.
Great job to the RR crew (Nigel, Matt, Brad, Hop) for keeping things moving so we could cover so much ground. That really felt like we got the concepts of a two day class compressed into one day, but it wasn't rushed. Just the right amount of downtime.
The transition to pistol drills were a great addition. There aren't a ton of public ranges that let you practice that kind of stuff, so having a chance to do it slowly and controlled was nice. I also shot a lot better with my pistol than I expected to, so that was a bonus.
I also liked the added challenge of random rifle stoppages, then having to get follow up shots with the pistol while keeping track of number of rounds fired into multiple targets.
The qualifier was a tough run. Great job to the guys who cleared it. There wasn't much room for error on that setup.
All in all a great day, solid concepts and a good group of people. You can't ask for much more than that. I genuinely consider this class one of the best values you can get for your money. There are a lot of excellent trainers out there teaching people how to run a rifle, and I want to train with all of them, but this class proves you don't need to spend $500+ to take a class from some YouTuber. We have really great training right here.
