How is shooting from a hunting rifle MC 20 01?
This weapon is equipped with detachable box magazine. Shops are available for 2 and 4 rounds. The equipment package, as a rule, includes 2-3 such stores. This is convenient for quick reloading the gun.
If there is a desire to increase the ammunition, you can do this by manually filling the first cartridge into the chamber. This is done very simply. Such a simple manipulation allows you to increase the charge of a gun by one cartridge. Thus, the total charge will be 3 or 5 rounds depending on the magazine used.
After the loaded magazine is placed in its place, the shutter handle must be placed in the upper position. This action removes the bolt from the clutch with the receiver. After that, the shutter must be taken back to the stop, and then sharply forward. The final stage before the shot is turning the shutter and lowering the handle down. Once all this is done, the cartridge is placed in the chamber and a shot can be carried out.
After the shot, you need to move the shutter back so that the gun "spit out" the sleeve of the used charge. When the bolt moves backward, the next cartridge is captured and fixed in the chamber. After cocking the spring can be carried out the next shot.
Design MT 20 01
The build quality of this hunting rifle is high. For disassembly tools, if necessary cleaning, do not need to use any additional tools. Disassembly is quick and easy.
The bolt is made of high quality stainless steel weapon. The barrel has excellent protection against powder gases and various external physical influences due to the fact that it is chrome-plated. The chamber in this gun is also chrome-plated. External parts of weapons made of metal, blued.
For safety, there is a hand safety fuse. To activate it, it is necessary to lock the trigger by cocking the trigger and moving the fuse to the extreme rear position. The fuse mechanism in MC 20 01 is the worst of all other components. It is unreliable, since an involuntary shot may occur when falling or hitting.
The stock of this gun is, as mentioned above, made of wood. In serial production for the lodge, birch is used, but if you make an individual order of this shotgun, then it can be made of walnut. The stock is reinforced with a nog, so that the tree is not deformed or destroyed by recoil during firing. It also has a special notch, which will exclude the possibility of the gun sliding from the hands of the shooter during firing.
On the sides of the store there are two small latches that lock the store into a gun. Removing the store is very simple: you just need to press on both latches and he will jump out into his hand.
There is a small flaw in the design: the width of the store and the receiver are very different, so it falls freely from there after pressing the latches. Because of the big difference, the store may skew, which will lead to incorrect shooting. You can eliminate this disadvantage by reducing the difference in width. As a rule, the arrows install small metal plates on the sides of the receiver.
