As one myself I have had some bad experiences with Mauser bolts catching on my coat edge where the buttons are and ever-so-slightly...or completely...opening the bolt while covering steep and uneven ground or working my way thru brush or just walking about. VERY frustrating and in fact I had a plan to do this very thing {not exactly, but same concept} on a favored rifle some years ago. The problem is the rifle when carried close to the body places the bolt handle against the torso and any gear/clothing there can snag the handle and if the rifle is then lowered, voila! There is no real resistance so you don't even notice it. So anyway, the little gizmo looks like just the ticket for stalling this type of a malfunction. |
