The Hornady Rapid Rack is an empty chamber indicator and load-assist device designed for AR-15 style rifles chambered for 223. A cartridge-shaped stainless insert sits in the chamber while a high-visibility red lever protrudes from the ejection port to clearly show chamber status. The device allows a straight pull on the lever to eject the insert while the bolt chambers a round, providing a rapid, visual indication of an empty chamber and a simple method to ready the rifle from a staged position. Intended for users who want a clear chamber-status indicator and a straightforward load-assist on AR-15 platforms.
