When I carry a rifle with one in the spout I uncock the bolt when I close it, then when I am ready to shoot I lift the bolt strait up and down with no cycling or noise, very quick and very safe for everyone, don’t put all your trust into the hands of a unskilled under paid gun maker looking to make a buck.

Hey folks I think we have some common ground here
in that none would feel this is a good practice
FWIW my methods are situation dependant WRT hot pipe/not hot pipe, half cocked, etc... Muzzle control being paramount.
