| i keep mine with safety OFF and a loaded 20 rd mag with 12 rounds ,with bolt locked back ,no rounds chambered,ready to hit bolt relies .your thoughts ? no kids or visitors without securing firearms . |

Why would you only have 12 rds? It holds 20, put 20 in it. I keep mine with round chambered, safety on, 30 rds of 75gr tap in the mag. 10" SBR with suppressor and Aimpoint always on. 100% cowitnessed BUIS with a tritium front post in case of optic failure. Flip the switch, pull the trigger and she goes bang.

Care to explain that one?

Huh?
Why the fuck do you only load 12? I can understand downloading it 2 rounds, but 8? Why? Next, why bolt locked back? Why not just have a full mag, or even a mag downloaded 2 rounds, safety off, bolt forward. All you'll have to do is pull the charging handle and you're ready to fire. You got some 'splaining to do, Lucy! Also, 30 round PMAG for the win. What's this 20 round shit? This ins't Vietnam! |

I think it is probably not much longer than the battery life...but I am guessing only. |
| Seriously, OP. Get yourself a 30rd pmag and load it to capacity. Chamber a round, and put the safety on. The noise of the bolt closing is unnecessary. If you deem it necessary to stay quiet, you will have a hard time doing so. Also, no one ever got in a gunfight and said, "gee, I wish I had less ammo." |

WTF....what is your reasoning for only partially loading the magazine? 30 rd mag, 1 rd chambered, safety on. |
| I keep one of those 60 round quadstack mags, on the nightstand but only loaded with 44 rounds cuz its 87 - 1 divided by two plus 1. Then I drop the bolt dry and put it on safe. Then I compulsively check my red dot for good bright light indicating fully charged battery, probably like 7-12 times. then I make sure it cowitnesses with my buis. Then I flip my rear buis down. But not the front. |

I think a lot of yall are getting trolled hard. I was going to reply but I was starting to think the same thing. FWIW, my bedside AR has a full 30 rounds, chambered safety on with optic, light and sling. Only reason I download my other mags is to help them seat better, usually 28 per mag. |

(or if I notice she's starting to dim) If it lasts 8 years then its served its purpose and I'll buy another. If it does happen to die, she's still got irons. FWIW: I also have a surefire mounted. |

My AR is stored with a 30 round fully loaded mag, chamber empty, bolt forward, safety off. All that's required to rock and roll is a simple pull of the charging handle. http://www.btfh.net/shoot/porn/cmmg-2.jpg Again, fuck that noise. Why dick around with yanking the charging handle? The only yanking in my bedroom is my wife on my cock. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |
| ok, i think i have a consensus, i was thinking of doing what fly did with one less step , and 12 rounds should be enough unless you are asking for bad things by being a ass hole .. and i thought more than 12 rounds would fubar the mag spring for long term storage . good conversation guys and calling someone a troll .should be saved for people who aren't asking legit questions . some folks would be intimidated and not ask for options, but i am 60 yr old, and don't give a fuck what some basement dweller says .loco |

Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile So I'm not constantly chambering the same round over and over when I take this sucker out to the range then bring it back home and reload it with my SHTF ammo. |

You should try a 10 round Mag, but only put seven rounds in it. Then you can put your other 5 rounds in another 10 round Mag, and have a reload, in case your first Mag fails, or you shoot up your seven rounds. This might sound silly to some people, but I know it makes perfect sense to you, OP. |
