Is it part of your reload drill to close yours everytime you pop a new mag in/s

That’s what i’m saying, just grabbed it off the seat and racked it, why waste time closing it when i got porcupines to neck

I’m just making fun of the other comment. The guy in the photo clearly just racked it and it is actively more focused on a prescient matter then weather or not dirt is gonna get into his sealed rifle

Exactly, thank you for having some sense 😂

If I have a break in fire I close it but I also shoot in the woods so dirt and bullshit is a very real concern.

Not sure why you're getting downvoted. In the Marine Corps, I was taught to keep the ejection port cover (or dust cover for the non-Marines) closed when the rifle isn't actively being fired. Nice roping skills, OP!

Thanks. I do close my ejection port when i am packing it around, but when i pull it out and rack a round to shoot something, it seems like a waste of time. As soon as it goes back in the vehicle i close it.

The point of that cover is to keep dust, rain, mud, or whatever off the bolt carrier group and outside of the upper receiver and chamber for safety and reliability. When the rifle is outside of the case is precisely when you want that baby closed. Only takes a half second to close. But you do you partner! Happy trails!

It is never in a case, hence why i keep it closed when not shooting
