Hello;
I just picked up a thread on a German Web-site, that claims there have been injuries and a number of fatalities while shooting the Blaser R-93. Anybody out there had any problems?

Hello Johan,

I saw a post in the Wild-und-Hund forums about the incidents. Haven't really read it, though, since on a german board, any discussion about Blaser leads to heated arguments every time.

It seems like Germany is on the edge to civil war

I will wait and see

Gentlemen,

I have heard of these for quite some time now, and one experience we had with a Blaser might through some light on this.

We had one of our friends try to load the rifle quickly for a follow up shot, and he did not close the bolt completely. The rifle misfired.

There was a slight indent on the primer, which was not hard enough to fire the round.

I would imagine if that round had a sensitive primer, it might have gone off, and I would imagine the action was not fully closed.

This of course might have caused some problems.

This is only a thought, though, as we did not check what was going on to be certain.

The rifle fired as usual afterwards.

Hi griz
I have only tried it a couple of time a blser ann find it so ungerman they usually make the guns with their heart and soul but this gun is like many other strait pulls a piece of trash( i got to agree with Johan only for this time . i can never understand how the germans could make a such big mistake? what happened to the Germany?
regards

I still shoot mine, but I agree - it feels cheap and wasn't entirely so. There has been a major product recall as there was some dire problem with either the trigger mech or the safety catch. IIRC some pins were made from incorrect type of steel.
