Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 'Total Round Control' system on the Franklin Armory Prevail rifle?

The 'Total Round Control' system on the Franklin Armory Prevail rifle is a proprietary feeding and ejection mechanism. It ensures a round is reliably stripped from the magazine, fed under the extractor, and then automatically ejected only after it has been fully chambered and the bolt is retracted.

How does the auto-ejector work on the Prevail rifle?

On the Prevail rifle, the auto-ejector is 'lifter-activated.' This means it only engages and ejects the round once it's fully chambered ('into battery') and the bolt is pulled back, ensuring controlled cycling and reliable extraction.

What is the benefit of controlled round feed in a bolt action rifle?

Controlled round feed, as seen in the Prevail rifle, ensures the cartridge rim is captured by the extractor as it's stripped from the magazine. This prevents double feeds and rim damage, leading to more reliable chambering and extraction, especially in adverse conditions.

Who explained the Prevail rifle's feeding system?

The feeding system of the Franklin Armory Prevail rifle was explained by Dan Dement, a representative from Franklin Armory, demonstrating the proprietary 'Total Round Control' technology.
