Need to find someone who can make these magazine covers in aluminum
Bolt handle not heavy enough to close it again if bumped? Is there no ball indent locking to keep it closed? Sounds to me like poor design if you can accidentally lift it open, it should have something to prevent that. The low price comes with obvious issues it seems. Marko

Yes it does have a ball indent on the open side , honestly like any other bolt action you just have to make sure it is all the way down ,and you will not have problems ....
Would be easy to build it like so that if the bolt is open it wont hit the valve with full force. Marko
I ended up making my own slightly extended bolt handles, and added a huge stainless knob to weigh things down. More mass on the end of that longer Rod greatly increased the leverage and dangling weight. It has not failed since and I’ve shot hundreds of shots after my modification.

In the heat of the chase you need a gun that doesn't need any special care. There is no excuse for not having positive lock engagement that won't open accidentally by flick of a finger or scraping of a bush. If you need extra care for shootin at the bench for my mind the design is faulty. And like any other bolt action rifle, well my own design any other rifles will catch the hammer if shot with bolt open. Some will close the bolt and you get very low power valve actuation and others wont even fire. Marko
would that be the grub screw on the top rear of the receiver block?
