Thread: Rem700 adl front trigger sceew

Something that needs to be mentioned about unloading, I pushed the bolt forward just enough for the round to pop out of the mag so I could tip it into my hand. You do not need to chamber the round. Having the muzzle pointed in a safe direction and slightly upwards stops the round sliding into the chamber. Failure to do this has cost some in the US their lives. I am reasonably sure that most, if not all, in NZ are more carefull.
