This guide details a fast and easy method for zeroing a thermal scope, primarily utilizing the bore-sighting technique. It emphasizes removing the bolt to look through the barrel and align it with a target, then using a heat source to make the target visible to the thermal optic. The process includes initial adjustments via the scope's menu and final fine-tuning at the range. The instructor notes that thermal scopes are not precision optics but are effective for identifying heat signatures.

This guide details how to clear common malfunctions on an AK-74 platform rifle, specifically when heavily fouled with mud. Expert instruction from Karl Kasarda demonstrates advanced techniques for dealing with failures to go into battery, feeding issues, and stuck chambers.
