That auto-ejecting chamber block is quite posibly the coolest thing i have seen all week.
Yeah, I keep them loaded with 30.
Most of my mags are new. So the springs are fairly tight compared to my older ones.
I will usually keep my 12ga cocked and locked (for quiet operation) and the AR I keep in my truck, will have a full mag inserted with the bolt closed on an empty chamber.
But the two remaining ARs that I keep in the closet, I want to keep locked back, with the mags on the top shelf. That way she can insert a mag and hit the release. Does that sound like a good plan?
Oh, and she dosent have a problem with the charging handle, the problem is positively locking a mag in the magwell, with the bolt closed. Its easy with the bolt back, but the way I keep them closed, means you REALLY have to push the mag in. Compressing down the spring on the already full magazine is the hard part.
