Charging handle stays put when you're shooting.

Haha man that would be interesting to see. If you look at the charging handle, its basically hollow. The gas key slides along the groove inside. If you notice, there is a latch on the left side of the cahrging handle. Take a good look at how it attaches to the upper. It's impossible for it to move without depressing the latch. |

CH will not move; you will hear a 'spoing' noise in the buttstock, dont worry--its just the buffer spring

I've seen people who didn't have the charging handle "locked in place" come back in there face. They only do 1 time. Make sure it caught.

Well I took the whole week off (13th through the 19th) so I should be able to figure out he basics of the good ol' AR-15. And it's spring break for college. So I will have plenty of range time. Thanks for the info on the charging handle, and pics will come asap. It is a Standard A4 with a detachable A2 carry handle from RRA. Iam pleased so far. Very good looking rifle, we'll see after 500+ rounds. Any suggestions on ammo, I have 100 rounds of Winchester HP (45 grain.) so far for overpriced.

gator, take a look at the flash view of the AR15 cycle.
click HERE for the M4 cycle animation - courtesy Biggerhammer.net This gives you a good perspective on what is happening inside your gun. Note the animation shows a fully automatic version that contains some fire control parts that yours does not, but that is all trigger/hammer/sear related. |

The ammo you have is not ideal.
Too light, but for paper-punching and getting to know your gun, its OK. Look through the AMMO section here on AR15.com and do some reading for where, what, why, and how much, on choices Congratulations on your new rig, and welcome aboard!
