gjgalligan Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I started a thread here and it has disappeared. I know it was there because I went back to it later to see if anybody had responed to it. I do not recall the title of it but it was a question about SuperNovas (pump) action breaking open by itself after the shot. Now my profile says I have made no posts. ??

tucker301 Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I don't know about your lost post, but I can tell you that all pumps release the bolt when fired. Generally, recoil will begin the process of opening the action, then the shooter takes over and completes the process. In order to keep it closed, you have to make a deliberate effort to keep the forearm forward when shooting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gfpd707 Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 The only time I have expierenced this is while dry firing when not holding the fore arm. When actually shooting the weapon I have never had this happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
