Not as smart as I thought I was. (So what else is new)
Longtime poster on an (other) RF forum) but am following folks I know and respect to RF.com. Looking forward to the association.
Re: Slingshoting. Never paid as much attention as I should have, but have confirmed that with my two Rugers (a Mk. III with mag disconnect removed and a Mk. IV recently back from recall but otherwise un-modified) the slingshot mode functions as follows:
Bolt held back by slide release, loaded mag inserted, bolt pulled fully to rear and let go, bolt remains locked open.
Bolt closed, then loaded mag inserted, pull back bolt and it chambers a round.
S.O.P.? Or is there a way (i.e. mod?) that will allow mag insertion on an open bolt and then simple pull back for chambering?
Thanks,
