Thread: Flat primers

The indicators are not really that complex.

Here’s a situation that I have personally seen other shooters (plural events) up to –
Hammering the bolt open with a block of wood. (On some rifles the bolt handle will detach, which is probably a good thing as they cannot fire it again that day).

This can lead to one or two things – cannot get bolt open, trip to gunsmith, or gets bolt open, primer falls out of case.

Then firing another shot because they didn’t believe the symptoms of the first shot.

At this point it is necessary to intervene because they are firing right next to me and I was just trying to shut out external interruptions/influences/do my own thing, but my wellbeing was at risk.

I kid you not.
