snipers eye Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 hi folks,how do you store your rifles? do you store between shoots with bolt open,or closed with safety on,reason for asking is a was told leaving bolt closed puts pressure on the firing pin?? or is that a load of bull?

drut Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 I always remove bolt & store with ammo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry931 Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 Upside down so no oil can run into the trigger. If you want to ease the tension on the firing spring with a bolt action you can hold the trigger while closing the bolt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jam1e Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 Rightly or wrongly, I store them muzzle up with the bolts open and In the rearward position.... Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshwarrior Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 For me bolts belong in rifles, so bolts in de cocked muzzle up to protect the crown. Shotgun cock barrels down to protect the wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
