John_R Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 (edited) Guess who forget to take his magazine along today! If this happens again, is it OK to push .17HMR rounds into the breech and then close the bolt over? It is a CZ 452 if that makes a difference. There was nothing much about, so I really didn't feel too bad, plus I got another bag of sloes. I treated it as a chance for a recce so I saw more of the land than I would have otherwise.

Beardo Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 yeah it's fiddly but there's no safety issue - i've forgotten my mag before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy. Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 As above, it's fine. It only really matters when it's centrefire rounds. The bolt doesn't catch around the round as easily, or not at all in the case of my 22-250. Meaning a whole lot of effort goes into getting a round which is really hard to remove out of the breech.

John_R Posted October 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 Many thanks. I probably would have got a few shots, not many. Might have to see if I can sneak out tomorrow to make up for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dekers Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 yeah it's fiddly but there's no safety issue - i've forgotten my mag before. I forgot mine, for the one and only time, just a couple of months back when I went out with Mr L, hand fed, yes it's fiddly but I was getting the hang of it as time went on.....mags much better just the same!

paul99 Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 Blimey you guys must have more patience or more nimble fingers that I have - after a dozen or so failed attempts one night I gave up trying to hand feed my CZ and concluded that in daylight and a bit of luck it might be possible. I'll have to put a bit more effort in next time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
