Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Push Feed Rifles Jam!

A push feed bolt action rifle can jam.

If the rifleman pushes the bolt part way forward and a cartridge starts into the chamber and then pulls the bolt back on a push feed action he can push the next round under the first and jam the rifle.

This is why manually operated battle and dangerous game rifles have been made with control round feeding.

Besides it's good machinery. If you can operate a Bridgeport or a South Bend you will know what I mean. If you don't know what a "Bridgeport" or "South Bend" is then you may not.

Hiccup, a good sausage bear will always make woof

That trout burt hisself ?

Sure, if you manipulate the bolt improperly, you can cause a malfunction.

But, think about it this way.....Any CRF fully automatic weapons? We sure do depend on a lot of push-feed weapons in battle.

Full or semi-auto actions are less likely to jam in terms of a double feed.

I am talking about bolt action rifles.

So you're saying it's not the design, it's the fool behind the design?

I'm guessing you've had a push feed jam?

Micro weev Rifle dipper!

Work the bolt lik an ox grin

Push Feed Jam needs your help!

Sounds like that dude doesn't know how to properly assemble a mag box and follower to me.

People also filled in the bubble next to Obama's name.

Gee dumb don....did you actually read the article?

Here

"before it can be controlled by the bolt and goes" " cattywompered"

Dawn,

I'm lovin' the new avatar. When did you start endorsing 700s? You are big into McSwirlys too, right?

You know someone that uses "cattywompered" whilst describing a rifle malady is a real technical genius.

You can't argue with qualified ignorance fellas.

FWIW, in the course of the past 20 years or so and thousands of rounds, I have experienced exactly one "double feed" that wasn't intentionally set up as a training excersice. It was a "push feed" M16A2.
All my bolt rifles are push feed, and this has never happened to me. Ever.

Some also have problems finding the right gear when using standard transmissions or moving the lever to the correct position in automatics. However, most don't.

Worry sucks.

I do believe Savage99 needs to test ALL PUSHFEEDS to see if this happens with all of them. He could also publish an article.........oh that's right he is not a writer. Just an internet dingbat.
