AR 101

A couple beginner's articles at American Rifleman for running the AR family of rifles and carbines by Kyle E. Lamb, author of the excellent Green Eyes Black Rifles.

The first article is "Getting Started" and discusses some basic safety issues, proper loading of the AR, finding the correct length of stock, shooting from the prone position, and how to perform basic maintenance of the weapon.

The second article, in the most recent edition of American Rifleman, is called "Hitting Your Target" and discusses zeroing procedures and ballistics. It then discusses the proper fighting stance using the system, use of the safety, and sight offset at short ranges. Finally, he describes a drill for practicing the use of the rifle.
