Which condition defines Combat Ready Sling Carry for rifles?

• A. Action closed, empty chamber, safety on, loaded mag in well
• B. Action closed, round in chamber, safety on, loaded mag in well
• C. Action closed, round in chamber, safety off, loaded mag in well
• D. Action open, round in chamber, safety on, loaded mag in well

Answer: (B)

The main idea is keeping a rifle ready to fire while staying under control and safe in sling carry. In a Combat Ready Sling Carry, the rifle should be in a state that allows immediate action: the action is closed, a round is in the chamber, the safety is on, and a loaded magazine is seated. This setup lets you respond quickly to a threat because a round is already chambered, while the safety helps prevent accidental discharge during movement or handling. If the chamber were empty, you’d have to chamber a round before you could fire. If the safety were off, the weapon could discharge unintentionally. If the action were open, the rifle wouldn’t be in a stable, ready-to-fire condition and could snag or fail to feed properly. So the configuration with the action closed, round in the chamber, safety on, and a loaded magazine is the correct one for Combat Ready Sling Carry.
