    Sorry mate, that confusion is probably on me; Press check is done exactly as you say, we can't see the mag or bolt when behind the gun. It was just one of those 1% things that crept in i'm guessing. TBH, I don't hate it. I actually like it. If you're running the bolt there's a chance, if the mag...

    Chirs Mete! I think its interesting youre viewing this as a binary, you're behind the gun ready to shoot or the gun is laying around on its own.

    Your (MIL) Mother In Law is a big dumb bird. A Moa is also a big dumb bird. Tragically, the Moa is extinct, and not the other way round.

    He spares 1 in every 1000 so there's someone left to spread the fear.

    Thanks mate. Is the bolt to the rear or just unlocked?

    Agreed. Are you concerned about ingress of debris or the bolt moving forward under inertia to bump a round clear of the mag?

    Ah got you, no experience with Bix'n Andy so i'll take your word on those ones. I'll check some of the others. You've got me thinking of the Winchester type safety now on the SPR.

    You'd be surprised how many people just say "this is how we were taught" with no further consideration.

    Hey the background of this scene actually forms part of this discussion!! I can't remember if it was in Mark Bowden's book or not, but Delta were "Cold loading" or "Rack Loading" the gun, where in a magazine was in the rifle, but the working parts weren't cocked and there's no round in the...

    I'm definitely not going to say, because this IS the internet, but in my defence of my snark, there was a bit of attitude in the post that I was responding to. I kinda feel justified in what goes around comes around there.
