Thread: Blasers in the Rain

It’s the gas vent hole if something goes wrong IIRC. My R93 has been wet as a shag and no dramas. Leave a round chambered will stop water getting in, the safety of the Blaser is pretty much bulletproof Obviously safety first though.

*leave a fired case in the chamber might be a better option

That's generally why I always hunt alone. People are simply ignorant as to how the system works. It is literally designed to be carried like a loaded semi shotgun only with a better safety mech.
I always have a round chambered when hunting. It is safer, quieter and faster than a turn bolt or any other action I can think of.

Might be a few others, like Merkel? Doesn't that have a cock/uncock rather than a safety? I do like that feature of the Blaser action very much. No tension in the firing pin spring = no way it can really go off. That I can think of anyway.
