Thread: Loaded Rifle

@Micky Duck a guy I hunted with a couple of times used to carry his 303 with a round ‘up the spout’ and pulled the trigger back as he closed the bolt, claimed it was as safe as houses and he only had to pull the striker back when he wanted to take a shot.
At camp after finding this out I asked him for all the bullets from his magazine.
I looked at said bullets and said “these three have been rounds you’ve had ‘up the spout’ .
Showed him the indentations on the primers.

And I pointed out that a hard smack on the striker (such as during a fall on rocks) would fire the rifle, he changed his mind about how safe his method was.
