A couple of mine are like that, let down the firing pin & pull cocking piece one click out, then pull full out for full cock !
Maybe I wasn't clear.
Once the hunter loaded a live round into the chamber from the mag by working the bolt, how did he (manually) set the bolt on half-cock?
Thanks.
Ok Nick , Maybe I wasn't clear ?
Once the hunter loaded a live round into the chamber from the mag by working the bolt, he (manually) but his finger on the trigger as he closed the bolt, letting down the firing pin, yes the firing pin is resting on the primer for a short time, till you put it on half cock, this is/was done millions of times with no ADC's!
To be clear it is best to chamber the round with the finger off the trigger, then let it down...gently, after you have stripped the round from the mag & chambered it.
I hope that never came across too smart ass ?
Great info from the former owner to, thank you.
Not smart-ass at all, as I too want to avoid an ADC by understanding how it is that you move, or eased down, the bolt to half-cock with a live round chambered.
It's all in the technique ...
Nick if I understand you want to know how to put a Lee Speed at the half cock. If they are the same as an SMLE then the way I put SMLE's onto half cock is as folows. Once the bolt has been closed on a live round/empty chamber I hold rifle in my right hand, the end of the firing pin in my left hand, tightly, squeeze the trigger and ease the firing pin forward. The moment the firing pin has moved forward I release the triger. The firing pin is then eased forward till it engages at the half cock position.
I for one do not close a bolt with finger holding the trigger down with a live round in the chamber. Others do but I will not run the risk.
Hope this makes semse
