I never tried it with any of my AR's. Do you ride the charging handle foward with pressure on the trigger? Bill T.SemperFi said:I use the same trick on my Ar-15 as well.
Yes, that's exactly how I do it. You can pull the charging handle back and actually feel it come in contact with the hammer. Then just pull the trigger, you will hear a "click" and then slowly ease the charging handle down the rest of the way.billt said:Do you ride the charging handle forward with pressure on the trigger?
Yeah... you'd have to have some serious oven mitts to do that!SemperFi said:Now for extra credit, try de-cocking a 1911 with just one hand.... just kidding.
I only use this method for decocking the rifle, I use my snap caps for practicing trigger control.billt said:I know several guys use snap caps, as do I on many semi autos I own, as well as all of my O/U shotguns, but on my bolt actions I always keep pressure on the trigger while I slowly close the bolt. This releases the tension on the firing pin spring slowly instead of snapping the gun on an empty chamber or having to use a snap cap. Bill T.
It's not a problem here.SemperFi said:Now for extra credit, try de-cocking a 1911 with just one hand.... just kidding.
