Clearing a Jam in an AR-15 Rifle

Video Transcript

"Hi this is Caleb Kelly, we just went over immediate action to try and clear a jam in an AR fifteen series rifle. Now we're going to be going over remedial action. So when firing, click, nothing happens. The round doesn't fire, this is remedial action. What you do is lock the bolt towards the back, drop the magazine out. It may be a bad magazine or something wrong with it, it's damaged. You rotate your rifle towards the right where the ejection port is facing the ground. You cycle the action fast three times and you're going to grab a brand new fresh magazine. There may be something wrong with the old one. Put it in there, cycle it to where it loads a new round, a fresh round. This may be a good magazine, it may work from here on out. If you have what is called a forward assist on your rifle, hit that. Make sure it seats the round correctly and hopefully you're back in action."
