Magazine Cutoff


Photo From: Allan Tarvid - Album: Rifles--Classic or Antique

Description: Sedgley Springfield-based sporters included the military action's magazine cutoff which allowed the shooter to single-load rounds until "rapid fire" was needed, then he flipped the lever to access the magazine and blazed away. Back when military rifles were transitioning from single-shot guns to being magazine-fed this was probably considered the equivalent of spray-and-pray shooting.
