I like semi-bolt actions.
i was wondering how the bolt on a bolt action rifle works i mean like you pull the bolt or something and the shell ejects how does that work?
by the way jamz there is no such thing as a semi bolt action rifle cause semi auto rifles use gas

Mine run on diesel, or solar power, but only at night
Mine run on good intentions and the pleasant dreams of innocent babies.
You'll have to try harder than that. At least buy me a drink or two before asking :mrgreen:
i did not know that bullets only spin out of bolt action rifles.

actually what is a bullet and do you spin it with your fingers?
and do androids dream of electric sheep?

Actually your wrong. Mauser made a semi auto rifle called the G41M in ww2 that used a bolt action that was operated by a muzzle cone that used the blast of the rifle to cycle.
Damn, Adler, sometimes I think you know TOO much about the older firearms.
Among other things I study this in school. Im currently writing a journal article on paul mauser and his famous 93 and 98 family of rifles. Kind of stating that he was the Kalashnikov of his day. He is the only other designer who could boast about 100 million rifles beign made under his designs. If I get it published lll post it here. Also doing a piece on Hiram Maxim, the man who invented "the devil's paintbrush".

I also grew up around a German Colonel ww2 vet for a grandfather so I was cleaning his k98 and M1 garand with him at 5.
did you ever fire it? k98 or the m1?
SOme bolts extract by what I call the bump method. See the extractor grabs the rim of the cartridge. Yet the extractor only removes the cartridge from the chamber. Then as the cartridge is being pulled back it will encounter a little speed bump. This bump is not your typical speed bump for it is parallel to the cartridge. See once the cartridge bumps this speed bump it sends the spent cartridge flying out.
well thats kinda what i meant, i mean it is kinda common sense for something that pulls the shell out in the gun
and that bump is called the ejector


now our next shooting question is?
what is "dope" and is it involved with long range shooting?
