    call it a newb question, but why is it a bad idea to use the charging handle? Personally i prefer using the bolt release, but i'm interested to know what problems can arise from this other method.

    On a side note, i got my magpul pmags in the mail today so i'm going to try them out this weekend to see if i have better luck with the feeding issues. I tried a friend's h&k mag and had no ftf problems with it, so maybe i'm having magazine difficulties.

    thanks again for everyone's input. I am new to the AR platform, and this forum, but you guys have been very informative and helpful.

    Because you can ride the bolt. This slows it down and can give you the dreaded "click!"

    Mags are one of the weakest links in the AR platform.
