CRFSC Operating Firearm Actions 2

Question 1

When operating a lever-action rifle, what is the correct sequence to chamber a round?

Accepted Answer

Pull the lever down and forward, then return it upward

Answer

Cycling the lever downward ejects the spent case and cocks the hammer, while returning it upward strips a fresh round from the magazine into the chamber.

Question 2

A semi-automatic pistol experiences a 'stovepipe' malfunction. What has occurred?

Accepted Answer

A spent case is caught vertically in the ejection port

Answer

A stovepipe occurs when an ejected case stands upright in the ejection port, preventing the slide from returning to battery.

Question 3

What does 'bolt override' mean on a semi-automatic firearm?

Accepted Answer

A round is positioned above the bolt face preventing feeding

Answer

Bolt override happens when a cartridge rides over the bolt face rather than being pushed into the chamber, causing a stoppage.

Question 4

On a double-action revolver, what happens mechanically when you pull the trigger without pre-cocking the hammer?

Accepted Answer

The trigger pull cocks the hammer and then releases it in one motion

Answer

In double-action mode, a single trigger pull both cocks the hammer and rotates the cylinder, then releases the hammer to fire.

Question 5

When unloading a pump-action shotgun, what is the safest first step?

Accepted Answer

Point in a safe direction, engage the safety, then remove rounds from the magazine

Answer

Always point in a safe direction and engage the safety first, then methodically unload the magazine before cycling the action.
