Struggling with AK-74 Magazine
Beginners always struggle with getting the Kalashnikov magazines in the rifle.
Did you tell him that Stag Arms makes left-handed ARs?
I recommended that he start out with a left handed bolt action .22LR. He needs to essentially learn to shoot before making a serious investment. For a .22LR, the rifle itself won’t be terribly expensive, and the ammunition is cheap as well. I told him the AR might look cool, but that it’s expensive to shoot for a college student, and that if he wanted to learn the fundamentals, you can’t really beat a rifle in .22LR.
Hell, I’m no longer a poor college student, and I still shoot more .22LR than anything else just because it’s cheap, and it keeps the skills up.
That makes sense.
I’m actually surprised by how little a problem the AR is for a lefty. The AK-74 was a problem for him, with the charging handle on the wrong side (for him). The main problem with the AR was that it didn’t have an ambidextrous mag release. If the mag release were ambidextrous, I’m not convinced the rest of the operating system would be that awkward for a lefty.
