Thread: half open bolt

I have said it before a number of times but here i go again.
A half open bolt is not half cock and is not half closed! Its half Fuckin open! Ie you can see the shell.

Half cock is a condition usable on old 303s where it is actually HALF COCKED not half open not half closed but fully closed and half cocked.

Half closed as it should be called as in the vids above may not fire in some rifles but why would you take the risk? Why not half open, you still have to work the bolt either way.
I see no problem with a half OPEN bolt or pre tested safety. Each to there own. I have issues with a half closed bolt or half cock as it is commonly called incorrectly, being taught as a safe way to carry. It is not Safe with all rifles and should not be taught as a safe carry.
