I have a sported Ishapore 2A1 in 7.62X51. Like all Enfields, it has a cocking knob on the bolt. Is the bolt designed such that a loaded round can safely be carried in the chamber under an uncocked bolt?
I was under the impression that, when the bolt is uncocked, the firing pin extends beyond the face of the bolt. If that is correct, I would assume the cocking knob being struck would set off the round.
I would like to be able to carry a live round in the pipe on an uncocked bolt IF it is safe to do so. If it's not designed for that to be safely done, I'm not even gonna think about it. Straighten me out on this.
