Wait.all of the mags I've stuffed in my rifle have enough room to function properly when fully loaded.
YMMV with your mags, mag catch & bolt. Working your gear to find the right methods are what's key.
Feel free to hand me your downloaded rounds, I'll send 'em.
Aren't you an AK guy?
Weren't you at Larry Vickers carbine class a few summers ago?
Weren't you shooting an AK at said class?
If so, why do you hate Larry Vickers and all that he teaches?
I'm so confused.
That must be my doppelganger Rodger Dickinson.
AKs have their uses. Namely: clubs, shovels, tent poles, and splints.
Unless you have one of those full-auto ones, and those are also good for illumination and noise making.
.30 cal bullets should be fired from a cartridge longer than 50mm. And I'm being generous there, as I'd prefer nothing shorter than 54mm.
I must have you confused with someone else. Were you at the Vickers class?

I just tried five five of them ( one Colt, two BCMs, one Seekins , and one Rock River ) for the heck of it and I don't think I could get the magazine to seat on any of them even if I tried to knock it in with a mallet (which I almost tried, but decided not to
Both mine (AR's) will seat a fully loaded steel mag with a closed bolt with a tap. I do not download anything ever. 30 is 30.
To be fair, no they will not seat with insert alone. They need a nudge. This is inherently one of the most common malfunctions. Why it is so important to get into the following rhythm when doing ANY mag change, bolt closed or not. Tactical or administrative.
Tap. Rack. Bang.

Dude, it's 2022. It's push/pull, rack, reassess.
Mine will seat with 30, which is one downloaded from full in a Pmag. That's Why load the mags completely full and pull two, which leaves me with 29 rounds. It keeps me from having to count when loading mags while talking **** to everyone else standing around the ammo bucket.

Too many syllables. Don't forget to check your peripherals.
A big thank you to @nad63, Revere's Riders, and all the shooters and volunteers for such a great day. The weather was great, we pushed our carbine boundaries, assessed our skills and gear, and had a safe and eventful day.
Huzzah!
Huzzah!
Taking the words outta my mouth! Can't wait till the next class. Here is to sometime soon!

Great bunch of squared away students. It really does make a difference on how much you can get accomplished in a day.
30% walked away with the coveted “Well Regulated” patch and the rest were knocking at the door.
It was certainly nice to see prior alumni again and to welcome the first time RR virgins.

There were certainly some good shooters on that line. We're just a little bit better today hopefully.
Great job to the RR crew (Nigel, Matt, Brad, Hop) for keeping things moving so we could cover so much ground. That really felt like we got the concepts of a two day class compressed into one day, but it wasn't rushed. Just the right amount of downtime.
The transition to pistol drills were a great addition. There aren't a ton of public ranges that let you practice that kind of stuff, so having a chance to do it slowly and controlled was nice. I also shot a lot better with my pistol than I expected to, so that was a bonus.
I also liked the added challenge of random rifle stoppages, then having to get follow up shots with the pistol while keeping track of number of rounds fired into multiple targets.
The qualifier was a tough run. Great job to the guys who cleared it. There wasn't much room for error on that setup.
All in all a great day, solid concepts and a good group of people. You can't ask for much more than that. I genuinely consider this class one of the best values you can get for your money. There are a lot of excellent trainers out there teaching people how to run a rifle, and I want to train with all of them, but this class proves you don't need to spend $500+ to take a class from some YouTuber. We have really great training right here.

This was a really fun class and I enjoyed it a lot. Saw some good people I've met at some of the other RR classes (and met some new ones. There seems to be a "high caliber" of people that attend these classes) and we got to shoot quite a bit. I will definitely come to another one, maybe June if I can make it happen.
