MONGO Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 Your friend may want to make the end of it saw toothed similar to the bezels that go on Surefire flashlights or the GG&G add on piece. This would make for a more positive contact point when using the gun for shot-lok breeching rounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SgtCathy Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 Hummmm...a machine shop?! Perhaps your friend could fashion a bayonet attachment? Say, for the long 17" M1917 US series bayonets. How cool would that be ?? SgtCathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! Load up 7 in the mag tube, with the bolt CLOSED. Then retract the bolt rearward just enough to drop one on the lifter, and finally one in the chamber. Let the bolt slide shut. The key is to retract the bolt rearward enough to place the shells on the lifter and in the chamber, without reaching the bolt's rear locking position. It's difficult to do with a shot timer running or in competition reloading situation. It is a nice technique to master when you are told to "load and make ready"!
