[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 66866, member: 1290"] That's pretty wild. I just went and tested all my bolt actions including two Mark V's and they all will fire just as the lugs start to engage. While varmint hunting with my Mark V I wedged it down in my bull bag and when I pulled the trigger it just went click. I noted the bolt had been raised ever so slightly from fully closed when I went to open it. There was no mark on the primer. I closed it back up and sent the next digger squirrel to suirrel vapor. Though mine as will all my rifles drop the hammer they won't fire a round unless the bolt is at least 99 percent shut. I agree the firing pin must have been stuck in the forward position somehow. Keep us posted. [/QUOTE]
