We frown upon users purposely creating incomplete pages, especially pages for games. Since you obviously already own the game and have played it, then it only makes sense for you to complete the page rather than forcing someone else to purchase it. --Funkychinaman (talk) 17:20, 22 July 2013 (EDT)

While it's fielded in the SAW role, it's mechanically just an assault rifle, so it's really best off there. As for your other question; the problem with trying to have a chambered round in a bolt-action clip-fed rifle is that you chamber a round by the action of pushing the bolt forward. Obviously, you can't load the rifle if the bolt is closed, and opening it would eject any chambered round. Evil Tim (talk) 08:32, 31 August 2013 (EDT)

Just to add, a lot of the early bolt action service rifles (including the Springfield 1906 you asked about along with the Lebel Model 1886, Krag-Jørgensen, and early Lee Enfields) were fitted with something called a magazine cut off. This interrupted feeding from the magazine so that you could close the bolt without picking up a round from the mag. The purpose of these was to have a full magazine loaded and activate the cut off, and use the rifle as a single shot saving the rounds in the magazine for an emergency. Theoretically though you could load a magazine, activate the cut off, manually insert a round into the chamber, close the bolt and then deactivate the cut off, which would result in you having the full magazine plus one in the chamber. I doubt this was rarely, if ever, actually done though and experience in actual wars led to the magazine cut off being dropped as an unnecessary complication on most service rifles. The idea of a magazine cut off has survived in shotguns though, where it is useful when loading a round of a different ammunition as opposed to whatever is currently in the magazine, or if you want to make the gun safe. --commando552 (talk) 12:51, 31 August 2013 (EDT)
