The logical approach and tests were great. The explanations were great. Many AR brands have a matte finish in the magazine well, and the PTFE coated lowers are now rare. That is an aggravating factor, especially when the magazine isn't inserted straight. Another aggravating factor is a dynamic insertion that adds additional force requirements to seat the magazine, and the dwell time is minimal. Those aggravating factors reduce the margin, compared to the perfect techniques in this video. The logical approach, test data, and explanation style was the best. Thank you.
Talk about class. Chuck put out information and gave options. We really appreciate how he didn't force anything on any nor did he put down other techniques. Great Job! Thank you
I love when people are able to show the issue so I can see what the correct course of action is instead of just telling me to do something. I also watched Warrior Poet's video and he did a good job of explaining why it could be a problem but it was nice to have the deep dive into multiple combinations of magazines and guns.
I cant believe this even a thing. Do people not even do maintenance and due dilegence on their equipment? Same goes with magwells, some mags wont drop free, but nobody can tell you that unless you try it with your gun and mags. Also, just because it works on that lower and magazine switch uppers and test again, fitment and tolerances of upper and lower fitment make a difference as well. Again, gotta do your due diligence and test yourself, nobody can tell you. Gotta do the work!
RAZORJB pssh... dude, all you need to do is buy the stuff RU-vid gun guru of the day says to buy and it’s all good. Just take the plastic off it and trust your life to it.
@@chaoticcaninejb I've come to despise the echo chamber and those who partake in it and the drama so much, that at this point I want them to be poorly prepared. Maybe they'll catch a round in the face because of it. That sounds nasty, but I never claimed to be anything besides nasty. Get it how you live.
DD made a 32 round magazine for people that wanna download 1 or 2 but still want 30...Just throwing that out there if it's something that bothers you or effects your setup...or run 32 if it works
Super helpful explanation thank you very much. At the range today working with my new Smith and Wesson M&P Ar15 I noticed that I had too much tension running gen 3 pmag’s with 30 rounds. Your demo on how to check the tolerance was exactly what I needed. The very first round I went to chamber didn’t seat right, and when I went to clear it somehow the second I pulled the charging handle back again I then got a double feed that was so bad it took me at least another 45 seconds to clear it. Had I needed my rifle hot and ready instantly I would have been in big trouble.
Shameless double post - 28 rounds seems to be the way to go with my gen 2/ gen 3 p mags, passed the two finger seating test. I thought 29 would do the trick but it still took a lot of force. 28 however seats perfect and feeds easily, I just practiced and downloaded all the mags I had set up In my plate carrier. They were all loaded to 30!!! I had no idea how badly this could mess me up. Next time I go to the range or if for some reason I have to grab my rifle for another less than desirable occasion I now feel 100% confident that my gun will function and not instantly jam / fail to seat on a tac reload.
Thanks so much for uploading this! A friend linked me to this after I asked about my DSG mags being hard to get locked in, very comprehensive view and dovetails conceptually with ideas I've heard elsewhere. Very thorough perspective of there being principles to work from and not just rote commandments from on tactical high.
Instead of downloading and you want to run 30 in every mag you have you can pull apart the mag and squish a peice or two at the bottom of the spring and give yourself a little less tension to add that room for the mags that don't seat on 30.🤘
Great, great video. Hope to hear/see similar videos about the discussions you mentioned that need to happen before round count, ammo, and caliber discussions. Thanks for the point blank, center mass data points.
Good information. Because of my wife's inability to ram fully loaded mags into her weapon consistently I started only loading 28 rounds to assure a positive reload. I hate leaving 2 rounds out but 28 rounds in the rifle beats 30 roun.ds on the dirt 100% of the time
Been doing this test for years... Really thought it was common knowledge when you alter "stock" components to test the viability of the item in question.
Has somebody measured various spring pressures on the last cartridge? Just push on the case until it loses contact with the mag lips and measure the pressure.
Thx for the video, very thorough explanation. What's the reasoning behind having your micro mounted that far back on your KAC/Mega build? Great content keep it up.
Downgrading solves any potential problems in any mags. What am i missing here? KISS. Aint no one got time for 22 minutes of mag inserts to come to that conclusion. J/K and giving you lip. i do appreciate you taking the time to make it. I sub'd.
@@presscheckconsulting3449 thank you very much for the reply! I was going to grab one of their rifles but I wanted to wait and see what is in store in the near future.
Yeah it did that during recording, probably because I did it as a live stream to a private link instead of recording it, reviewing it, and THEN uploading it. I suck at editing, i didn't even get my logo on this bitch. Lol
I drill a 30 rd witness hole like a ak. I have em they load to left and also right side full that’s annoying! I take out a lot of new shooters and let em try the ak and ar. I noticed they always have less trouble with the ak cuz of the mag snap ar issue! The ak mags aren’t falling out! It’s weird how ppl say the ar mag system is better but is it always for everyone? No the rock and lock is solid and obvious anyone can do it even little girls. Just saying
Absolutely great video, thank you! At the end, you mentioned that there are conversations or skills to be had before splitting hairs about caliber or the specific round. Is this a video? if so is it a public or Patreon video? 21:40
Shot placement is king. Center punching someone through the ventricles of their heart with 115grain ball is better than punching a lung with 147HST. Self control to deliver precision accuracy on demand beyond "upper center of mass" gives a higher probability of rapid incapacitation (usually resulting in unconsciousness, followed by death).
I wonder how much of this comes from using 550 through the floor plate as an actual magazine pull. I also I think this could be institutional and left over from the m14.
Great video! One question, do you think handgun mags loaded to capacity plus 1 in the gun can cause a greater instance of the pistol choking on the first shot from draw? Just over thinking as I do. Thanks Jeff
I only load 10 rounds in my 30 round magazines to stand in solidarity for those living in states with magazine restrictions. Just kidding. I load my mags. how I want.
Been an army infantry trooper for 4½ yrs. Always loaded 30 into my mags,, why? Imagine going into a combat patrole scenario, and you choose to remove 10/6,66/3,33% of ur munition from ur mag total. No thank you. Never had the incident where it wouldn't load, etc etc. Load up, don't add all the ekstra sjiat.
Organize your video. Prepare a script if you suck at ad-libbing. Prepare everything and take a sip from your cup BEFORE you start recording. FAIL And remove your cover ... you are indoors ...
