Come on Rod, fess up. The questions you get asked most about the Blasser is 1) What the F! are you gay or something? 2)Have you gone insane? Well we all know you were dropped on your head as a baby so that answers question No2.


On a serious note,that answer the top loading question. Bit slow to load a full mag. A mag change would be quicker if a full mag was needed.

Can you just drop one cartridge onto the follower and close the bolt or wont it feed from this position?




G’day Greg,

Firstly....let me set a few things straight. I was never dropped as a baby and I’ve never suffered a brain injury. (Fuck off idiot icon needed and ROFL)

Now as to the loading of the magazine in the video....it took a bit longer than normal as it was done single handed. The other hand held the camera.

You can single load the R8 by placing a cartridge directly into the chamber. However, you can’t just drop a cartridge onto the “follower “ and expect it to feed.

I’ve owned my R8 for over 4 years now, with 4 different barrels (223, 308, 30/06 and 9.3x62) and I’ve never had a failure to feed/jam.

Cheers

Rod
