on the FTF's (failure to fire) that you had, instead of ejecting then reloading the round (potentially dangerous if it was a hangfire) you can grab the cocking piece and pull it rearwards. keeps the bolt in battery and cocks the rifle to be fired again
those failure to fires were just caused because the firing pin didn't hit the primer hard enough, if it were old ammo and it actually could cause a hangfire it could be dangerous. also on the second one I tried to just re-cock the hammer but I messed it up. I guess I could have just pulled it back by hand, but that's just not my first reaction
@@nocturnalrecluse1216 why do you say that? if its because the light strikes, that's probably because I'm just lazy about cleaning it. Plus it doesn't help that its like 60+ years old, and it probably needs a new spring. Thinking about it, it probably is just dirty, because those were the first light strikes I've had with that rifle since I've had it. And I haven't shot it an absolute shit ton, but its probably my most used bolt action rifle
@@BobRossJrsArmory When u bought mine back in 2001, every time I fired a round it got stuck in the chamber. It cost me another 200 to get that fixed but it was worth it because now it functions beautifully. I noticed that your rounds sort of jam up every couple of shots. That is the only reason why I suggested it.
@@nocturnalrecluse1216 what was the cause of that? for me, its probably just because of how i was running the gun that made it look like that, cause i dont think ive ever really had an issue like that
I honestly don't even remember. I got them a long time ago and i want to say they are Rhodesian surplus pouches, but i could be wrong. They are meant to hold 20 round .308 magazines, like FAL, AR-10, G3 etc...
Love your vids as Always man 😎👍
You're too nice to me

@@BobRossJrsArmory You should take it to a gunsmith.

What ammo pouch is that
