HERE WE GO AGAIN: Franklin Armory Providence Non-Semiautomatic -
They seem to want to push the edge - so to speak. I am not sure how good this thing is, but I applaud the initiative and attitude.
If you look closely, it seems that the trigger pulls back the bolt and then releases it to feed the round into the chamber and it fires. Kind of like an open bolt semi-auto, but no gas, trigger operated. So not semi-auto - more like a revolver in concept. It would be interesting to see what the trigger pull weight would be - the length of the pull would be long too. It seems obvious to me that this would only be practical for pistol cartridges.
