So you've unjammed a jammed bolt with you're finger alone? wow.....
My fingers are to big for the port, pens break and there's never a stick around when you need one.

Need a little more detail on the how to, I've never had a jam with a AR that I couldn't clear by just removing the mag and working the CH, so I can't comment about much of this, But what about the fabled "Over Bolt" jam, what's the best way to clear that quickly?
ETA; Never mind, it's in the book.
Still don't understand why he had his hand was were it was to do this.

In a bolt override? Yes. You only have to counteract the buffer spring. And i don't have fat fingers.
This is kinda a funny statement, since back when the M16 was first introduced, they had issues with it feeling too much like a toy with the plastic stocks and furniture.
i.e. the Mattel-16
I find a fixed stock extremely long, when wearing my tac-vest and frag vest or other body armour.
If you use the current method of standing full on too what you're shooting at, all these factors become a bit of a pain.
On the civi range, I don't require a collapsing stock and my AR wears an ACE full length.
The only thing the guy in the first video seemed to do properly was wear gloves and attempt to communicate. When I was learning to be a C9 gunner, the word we used was "STOPPAGE" so that the rest of the section knew that one of the 9s would not be running at the next bound, but should be after that.

I am 6'4" with large hands and I almost always run my AR's on the second from closed notch, yes its a CTR. With a bit of gear on at the range I find that position perfect for allowing me to square up to my targets and engage quickly. I have never used my AR with the stock extended out past three points. I am a big guy and have no issues with a shorter stock, I too don't like A2 style stocks because I find them too long for a proper stance.
Interesting vid, I too thought the fail point for them was trying to mortar the gun with the stock open, mistake number one. If he had collapsed his stock prior to this he would have no finger pinches. Good laugh though. But enough stuff in that video to show us all what we need to work on. Guns are easy to shoot when they work, its how fast you get them back into the fight when they don't, and I think we all don't practice these drills enough, I know I don't.

"Fat fingers" where did that come from?
All kidding aside, this Video was helpful, thanks Satain.
I cracked a mil-spec CTR mortaring out a poorly sized reload. The stock didn't collapse, but the crack is on the top and bites my cheek so the rifle wears a VLTOR now.
As stated before, collapse the stock before trying to mortar out a bad round.

So happy my ar multitool has a bolt overide

Heh, no offense meant, I've just seen people who couldn't use their pointer as a bolt override tool, and usually it was because their fingers could barely fit in the ejection port.
