This video delves into the fundamental debate between controlled feed and push feed actions in firearms. It clarifies the mechanical differences, explaining how each system handles cartridge extraction and chambering. The hosts emphasize that both designs are highly reliable and one is not inherently superior to the other. A key functional difference highlighted is the ability to single-load rounds with push feed actions, which is typically not possible with controlled feed systems. Examples of firearms utilizing each action, such as the AR-15 and Remington 700 for push feed, and the Mauser 98 and pre-'64 Winchester Model 70 for controlled feed, are provided.
This video from Guns & Gear features the Ruger Hawkeye Hunter rifle during a deer hunting expedition. The review highlights key features of the rifle, including its non-rotating Mauser-type controlled feed extractor, 20 MOA Picatinny rail, and a three-position safety. The segment is part of the broader Gun Talk series, offering viewers insights into the latest firearms and related products with demonstrations and tips.
This video from Forgotten Weapons delves into the mechanical differences between push feed and controlled feed rifle actions. It explains how cartridges are engaged by the extractor in each system and the potential malfunctions associated with each (double feed for push feed, unintentional short-stroking for controlled feed). The presenter clarifies that while these differences are technically significant, they are often overhyped and rarely impact the average user's experience. The video aims to educate viewers on the underlying mechanics of firearm operation.
Ozzie Reviews Q & A, Episode #26, addresses a range of firearm-related questions from Patreon supporters. Topics include caliber choices for hunting and target shooting (223 vs. 243), rust removal, troubleshooting firearm accessories like Olight torches, bolt action rifle mechanics (Tikka T3X controlled vs. push feed), discussions on pest control series, long-range precision courses, scope mounts for Howa rifles, recommendations for straight pull/lever action shotguns, and a caliber comparison between 7.62x39 and 300 Blackout. The video encourages viewers to support the channel via Patreon.
This video offers a fair examination of the long-standing debate between controlled feed (Mauser-style) and push feed bolt action rifle designs. It delves into the historical context, manufacturing costs, aesthetic differences, mechanical operations, and reliability of each system. The presenter also highlights a key mechanical distinction that could potentially influence accuracy. The analysis aims to provide a balanced perspective for those wondering which design is superior.
