Thread: One up the spout

I was thinking of this the other day for no really good reason. Just wondering.
It was how I sometimes carried my Stirling 14p 22 back in the day. Pointing the muzzle in a safe direction I would chamber a round with the trigger pulled.
when I wanted to fire I would rapidly lift the bolt up and down, at least that's how I remember it. Been a long long time since I did that.
tested it by bashing on things, (not the bolt though) and in reality not really carrying it in tiger country either when I did that.
Came from being told not to trust the safety it seemed the next best thing.
