Bolts don’t jam.
Agreed, but I seem to be limited to 10 rounds on a bolt-action rifle, no?
And you can “guide” the spent case out so you can reload it again. A prepper needs to make his own ammo with components he has stored.
“Bolts don’t jam.”
Well they kind of do jam given the right circumstances. Seen it with my own eyes when a buddy had a 700 Remington in 7MM Mag lock up tight after firing a shot. The culprit was the reloads he was shooting were dirty. Dirty in that the guy that reloaded them didn’t bother wiping the grease/lube off after loading them. Believe me he one hell of time getting the bolt open.
“bolts don’t jam.”
Yes they do.
AKs, however,do not
“Bolts don’t jam.”
Yes they do. Failure to feed, case separation or failure to extract. Anyone else got any?
Yes they do.
I have used both very extensively. One would be advised to carry a battle rifle (semi) and have a bolt for 1000 yards and over. If you’re not shooting that far, stick with the semi.
I hear this all of the time.
Why not simply use the AR as a bolt action then? One at a time?
