Frequently Asked Questions

How do you safely operate a full-auto AR-15 like the MK18?

Safely operating a full-auto AR-15 involves ensuring it's on 'SAFE', loading the magazine, chambering a round by charging the handle, selecting 'SEMI' or 'AUTO' mode, firing, and then returning to 'SAFE' and unloading. Always maintain proper stance and control.

What are the key components for selecting firing modes on an AR-15?

The key component is the fire selector switch, typically located on the lower receiver. It allows the user to choose between 'SAFE' (non-firing), 'SEMI' (one round per trigger pull), and 'AUTO' (continuous fire) modes, depending on the firearm's configuration and legal restrictions.

What safety checks are crucial before and after firing an AR-15?

Before firing, ensure the firearm is loaded correctly and the selector is on the desired mode. After firing, immediately return the selector to 'SAFE', remove the magazine, and cycle the charging handle to visually and physically inspect the chamber to confirm it is empty and clear.

What does the 'RESTRICTED MILITARY/GOVERNMENT LAW ENFORCEMENT USE ONLY' marking signify on an AR-15?

This marking indicates the firearm is not a standard civilian model and is subject to stricter regulations, often falling under the National Firearms Act (NFA). Civilian ownership typically requires special permits, tax stamps, and adherence to specific legal requirements.
