This may be a stupid question, but I need to know for sure. Is it alright if i leave an empty magazine in the rifle, and put a single round through the ejection port, and into the chamber, chambering it this way? I have to go to the local range to sight in my rifle, and they only allow 1 round at a time. So instead of removing my magazine each time to load 1 round, i can do it the other way instead? |
They can tell how many rounds you have, but listening to the your firing. And it's not like the ranger cant see you |
Even if shooting full auto, you are still only firing one round at a time. Oh, you meant only one round in the rifle at one time. Get a single round follower, like the "Bob Sled" at the top of the page OR the aluminum insert which works with a regular mag near the middle of the page in the following link:Bob Sled ETA: A new range is advisable. |
| As noted above, there are adapters for that. But are you sure you can't use loaded magazine? I've heard of ranges only allowing "1 shot every x seconds" to prevent "rapid-fire" but only allowing one round in the gun at a time is the most fucked up thing I've heard in a long time. If that's really the case you need to find a range that treats you like an adult. |
All the publicly run ranges here in MI are that way now, and have been for years. I don't know why people continue to go to them, when it is legal to shoot anywhere on state land (non-ranges) any way you choose as long as you have a good backstop. |
That is how we did it at the range in boot camp 1987. Empty mag, one round at a time through the ejection port.
