And yes, I have seen a rather sheepish M03 owner standing with the bolt of his rifle in his right hand ..... I'm good friends with a colleague of his, who owns an identical M03, also in .404, also with the same symptoms.
I'm reliably informed that some of them will discharge by their own accord as well if the bolt is closed REALLY hard on a loaded round. This I haven't seen with my own eyes, just for the record.
Wow. Two big problems for the same model. Amazing.
Well I actually OWN and USE two of them and have never experienced either of these "third hand" problems.
I gave this a try and could not create either problem. Also have used my M03 with .404 in BGRC rapid fire events. Neither problem ever occurred.
Some of these courses are attended by complete wannabes. Never know how they handle their firearms, if they are ever used them before or how they have not been maintained ....
