I spent 12 years in the military in the UK before I left a couple of years back for a new life in the US. That being the case, I spent 95% of my time on a single weapon system, the L85A1/A2. After being in the US for around a year I bought a S&W M&P AR-15 5.56mm. My problem is that although I know how to use the AR15, I need advice on correct, safe and efficient drills... making ready, stoppage drills, making safe, etc. Obviously, I can do all these things but unlike with the L85, I don't feel as comfortable with the AR15. I've seen a few videos on You Tube but I can't find all the things I would like to see and I've had to filter a lot of BS and macho crap.
Anyone want to point me in the right direction...? Any tips and tricks might be useful too. I've already ordered a Magpul BAD lever to switch the bolt release catch to my right hand as I can't seem to find an intuative and controlled way to both pull back and lock the bolt...
