Quote: i just went and did this to all my bolt guns. savages,rem.700's and win 70's and it worked on all of them.if you keep the gun on fire,press the trigger and close the bolt while pressing the trigger. you cannot get the firing pin to release untill you work the bolt. just gotta lift it up and back down. a saftey (CAN FAIL). i don't think tis method can
The reason the "firing pin will not work" is that it is resting (under spring tension) on a live primer/round. All it would take is a sharp rap on the cocking piece or drop the rifle and let it hit on a hard surface and the odds are very good that the rifle will fire.
Very dangerous practice.
