Okay I need your help with something guys.
I understand the basic principle of course of the bolt action rifle, but I need one of you gun nuts to tell me this detail!
In a mauser action rifle, the firing pin is 'cocked' by the rotation of the bolt. I need to know the exact principles behind this, for example....
How does the rotation of the bolt transfer into the rearward movement of the firing pin?
And what holds the rear of the firing spring in place, to enable tensioning of the spring?
And Finally, how does the spring remained cocked throughout the rearward movement of the bolt, and subsequent forward movement into position.
Thanks for any help into this
