It serves the same function as a cocking lever on other weapons. You pull it to the rear, lock the bolt to the rear with the bolt catch... next step depends on what you're doing next. If you're inspecting the chamber to clear the weapon, you simply look into the chamber to ensure that it's empty. If you're loading the weapon, you place the weapon on safe, load the magazine into the magazine well, and depress the bolt catch to chamber the first round.

It is actually SPORTS SLAP - Slap the bottom of the magazine to make sure you got it in properly PULL - Pull back the charging handle OBSERVE - Look into the chamber to see what the problem is RELEASE - let go of charging handle (after fixing problem) TAP - Tap the forward assist to force bolt closed SHOOT - Pull trigger There are two main types of malfunction clearing drills. Immediate action, and remedial action. Immediate action fixes the problem most of the time, because most of the time you simply failed to slam the magazine in hard enough. So immediate action is slap the mag in, recharge the weapon by pulling the charging handle back and releasing it. Remedial action is done after immediate action fails to correct problem. You pull the charging handle back, which opens the chamber for inspection (unless the case is stuck in the chamber and in that case you need to bash your stock against the ground and inertia will force the chamber open) Look in the chamber, usually there is a stove pipe or double feed. Lock the bolt open. Drop the magazine. Remove the obstructions. Put magazine back in, recharge weapon, fire.
the basic feature of the bolt release is so when your magaizne empties and you put another magazine in all you have to do is hit the bolt release and it will put a round in the chamber without you having to pull back on the charging handle.
just soppose to pull out
To field strip the M4 carbine, first remove the magazine, then pull the charging handle all the way back to ensure that the chamber is clear. Next, push out the rear receiver pin and flip the upper receiver by 90 degrees. Pull back the charging handle and remove both the charging handle and the bolt carrier group and set them to the side. Push down the buffer retaining pin and remove the buffer and recoil spring from the stock. Pull out the firing pin retaining pin from the bolt carrier and remove the firing pin. Finally, remove the bolt cam pin and remove the bolt from the bolt carrier. To reassemble the M4, reverse these steps.
There should be 2 knobs on one of the sides of the handle. Unscrew them and than just simply take it off.
You take remedial action and clear it. We'd call it SPORTS - Slap up on the magazine, Pull back on the charging handle, Observe the ejected casing, Release the charging handle, Tap on the forward assist, Squeeze the trigger.
