I'm a whole lot confused on this. Do you close the bolt and pull the trigger then leave it like that. "Drop the Bolt" what is that? I have always stored my guns with the bolt closed. I never gave it any thought about closing the bolt then pulling the trigger and leaving it like that or just leaving the bolt open and I've owned rifles for 40 years and never had a problem with any of them.
