    Can you short stoke your bolt?

    Re: Can you short stoke your bolt? That was Army snipers on "Surviving the Cut" The M24 uses a long action reciever and magazine box so it is like loading a 308 into the space made for a 30-06 (or 300 WM) That extra unused length in the magazine box might be what makes the failure to pick up...
