Someone just posted that their charging handle broke off and I immediately searched if you were the same person. Thankfully your first firearm purchase didn’t end in a breakage!

Make sure you clean and disassemble your firearm before taking it out to the range.

Yikes! Almost 300 shots through without cleaning already, shouldn't be a big problem though? I'll look up a vid tomorrow thanks! My charging handle seems pretty sturdy!

Biggest thing if you let it go over 1000 rounds without cleaning that I’ve noticed is it will slam fire. Like a whole mag.

I just cleaned it last night but I couldn't get the firing pin out! Any suggestions, I saw a video some guy used a punch tool... but I dont have one...

Also don’t both taking it out until you’re at like 750-1000 rounds. Doing it every few hundred rounds if kinda silly.
