What's your experience with Blaser R93

[Cris]

And suffers the blaser click if you don’t ram the bolt shut.

User error only.

if you don’t close a blaser it won’t fire.

Crikey Artschool That’s let the cat out the bag

Now the wannabes who can’t or won’t learn to operate a blaser properly won’t have any reason to slag them off anymore.


Bob hope and 2 hopes comes to mind though


Only joking

In August 2014, Svensk Jakt wrote that another Swede, Tony Kristoffersson, had experienced an explosion with his R93 while on a Beaver hunt the same year. He described that his rifle had made a clicking sound as if it had failed to fire, but exploded when he tried to pull the bolt back, which resulted in the bolt hitting his hand.[25] The Swedish Blaser distributor later stated that while it is possible to pull the trigger without the bolt being fully locked into battery, the firing pin is designed such that it will not hit the primer with sufficient force to ignite the cartridge.

case 6 insufficient details

Sounds like he had a firing pin hang up which released when the bolt was opened. The shooter was not using the correct procedure for a hangfire so hurt his hand. User error certainly. Bolt needed a clean possibly?

I thought it sounded like a hang fire that he opened before waiting the 30 seconds. same as any rifle.

I bought my first R93 in 2004. Now have three with eight barrels between them. Never had any issues.

Put bullets in, load chamber with bullet, point in the right direction, pull trigger, Bang do your bit and it will be on target.

I have 2.

I like the straight pull, I like the trigger. I like that mine seems to shoot all ammo I feed it with accurately. I like the safety of the decocker mechanism.
I don't like the top loading, but I can live with that. I dont like the force needed to put the decocker to live.

Don't see any reason to sell until the barrels wear out.

Even then, several gunsmiths can rebarrel using your original barrel stub I believe.

If you don’t slam the R8 shut it doesn’t always fire,
unlike the R93.

I have one, I really like it. Accurate and reliable, with homeloads it is impressive. Stock (professional success) is really comfortable. It is slightly lighter than an R8. When the barrell is done I will get it rebarrelled.

Yes, that is correct. Personally, however, I would be tempted to use the Austrian company which is currently licensed by Blaser to manufacture its R8 barrels, although going down that route for an R93 replacement barrel would likely be the most expensive option.

Has anyone had a R93 barrel from Bixn-Andy company?

No need, it’s an R93 not an overpriced R8 that you have to slam shut.
