AR15 Basic Introduction & Operation - Beginner 101. Close Up in HD. Just bought your first AR-15? This video is intended for those who are interested in the AR-15 platform, but haven't had the opportunity to handle or shoot one. And those of you who may have just purchased an AR for the first time and would like to see how they're broken down. I cover the controls, some functions, disassembly, and reassembly for cleaning. This video covers the very basics only.

I just wanted to say thank you for all the positive comments and the "thumbs-up" that I've received on this video. It means a great deal to me, and I'm glad that I was able to help out those of you who needed it. Big thumbs up to you! :) Cheers Note 1: "Ride it home" - Slang for - easing the bolt forward. People that are new to AR's / firearms, are reluctant to just let the charging handle go. So, they ease the charging handle forward "riding it home". By doing this, they are taking a certain amount of energy away from the bolt. The bolt needs that energy to strip a round of ammunition out of the magazine and chamber it. If you ease the charging handle forward, you are more likely to create misfeeds, and/or jamming. So, just pull it back, and let it go. **Caution: It's not good practice to do it with any semi automatic firearm, that doesn't have a loaded magazine in it (to slow the action). Without a loaded magazine in the firearm, the bolt (or slide in the case of a pistol), does slam forward, possibly damaging the firearm. In that case, you do want to ease it forward ("ride it home"). *** I approve all comments, EXCEPT those with swear words in them. Please refrain. Cheers ***
