Re: Remington Model 81 jam.

What happens if there is no cartridge and you let the bolt go forward? Does the gun still fail to lock up.

Re: Hi-Standard chambers

I assume they were of the highest quality. One of their lower priced models that I got my hands on from a sandbag and factory fixed sights shoots into less than an inch at 25 yards and I assume with...
