Looking for tips or advice. I’ve been asking a lot of questions since getting my AR.
Yesterday I ran a couple hundred rounds through it, spaced out by using loading time and shooting my other guns in between. when finished shooting it took a while for the barrel to cool down which I know is expected.
What have you done to cool down the barrel faster? I read on another forum to open up the chamber so air flows through better and one said rest it in a vertical position to let heat escape. The ranges I have gone to so far definitely won’t go for the latter of the two.
My son and I were sitting around waiting for 15 minutes until I was comfortable it was cool enough to pack up. Got to see a few other shoot some fun things but the range was eager to get me out so others could get in.
