Sorry for the poor quality photos, they are done on my junk phone. And thats for the help!
Hunk that POS carrier get a new one "shrouded". semi or not.
What does "riding the CH forward" mean? Pulling BCG back and letting her fly without a loaded mag installed?

Could be the bolt catch.
Simple fix, stop riding the charging handle forward.
You're not supposed to do that anyways.[/QUOTE]
Riding the CH is when you dont let go of it and ride it forward.[/QUOTE]
Excuse my lack of knowledge but why is that bad per sey? I was always under the influence that letting the BCG (pistol slide too) drop foward without a round in the magazine to chamber it and slow it down is what's bad?

It doesn't hurt the AR-15, what happensgenerally when riding the CH is it will not have enough force to strip a round from a magazine, and can sometimes cause other issues with chambering.
The BCG will slam home even when loaded, it really makes no difference if its loaded or not, just let it fly when you charge it.
