SLAP the bottom of the magazine to make sure it is seated.
PULL the charging handle, front or rear, (Photograph 1) all the
way to the rear to eject the casing or cartridge and quickly
observe for problems. If no additional problems exist, release
the charging handle under its own force. Do not ride the charging handle forward.
If there is a double feed, or a failure to extract, the shooter must: lock the bolt carrier to the rear first,
remove the magazine from the rifle, cycle the action to remove the cartridge from the chamber, reseat the
magazine, and release the bolt carrier forward.
TAP the forward assist forward. (Photograph 2) Note: The forward charging handle can be used as a
forward assist by rotating the handle out; moving it to the rear until it engages and then pushing it forward.
