[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 426127, member: 25383"] I gonna confess here that up till that last five or six months I was a big proponet of the floating bolt system, but now I have a second thought or two. yet I can't prove out my ideas to be true or false. Just a nagging after thought. And for 99.5% of the shooters here the thoughts would be of no use. I'm a guy who jams bullets all the time in my six millimeter and smaller rifles, and I'm now thinking that the floating bolt head isn't as consistent as the fixed solid one. But with a .002" jump you'd never know what I'm thinking. Can't prove anything, so take it for what it's worth to you. Let me tell you a little story that has nothing whatsoever to do with a gun. Way back in the early 1960's Ford showed up at Indy with a V8 engine. Placed second first time out, and the next year they did a complete redesign into a four cam motor. The rest is history. But the engine builders and chief mechanics made a push to get the motor banned because it was vastly different, and basicly they didn't understand the inner workings of it. Anybody see a parallel? gary [/QUOTE]
