After the charging handle is pulled all the way back during bolt override, what is the next physical action to perform?

After pulling the charging handle all the way back during a bolt override situation, the correct physical action to perform is to strike the charging handle forward. This action is necessary to allow the bolt to move forward and strip a round from the magazine, thereby chambering a new round. By doing so, you effectively resolve the bolt override condition, which may occur when the bolt fails to return to battery due to the ammunition not being properly seated in the chamber or an obstruction.

Striking the charging handle forward ensures that the bolt can push forward, engage the round, and move into the firing position. This step is crucial in maintaining the firearm's functionality after experiencing a malfunction and is part of the immediate corrective actions one should take.

In this context, other actions may not address the immediate need to resolve the bolt override. For instance, chambering a new round immediately without first ensuring that the bolt is in the correct position could lead to further complications. Removing the bolt assembly or inspecting the magazine are also unnecessary steps at this point, as they do not directly facilitate getting the weapon back into a ready state for firing.
