Gentlemen,
RPRNY very kindly provided you a quote that has Capstick describing his method if carry. He even put it in italics for you. Capstick mentions this method in many places in different articles and books.
Please feel free to believe or disbelieve me as you feel necessary. In fact please feel free to carry your rifle around in such a manner as Capstick describes above. Just make sure it's pointed in a safe direction at all times.
PS
The extractor has NOTHING to do with carrying a rifle with the hammer down as described above. That is an issue in a Mauser style rifle that occurs by loading a shell into the chamber and not picking it up from the magazine. If you "single" load a round with a Mauser it causes the extractor to have to "jump" the rim of the round as it seats in the chamber which will cause your extractor to fatigue and break over time. ALWAYS chamber a round from a Mauser from the magazine NEVER single load it by pushing a round into the chamber then closing the bolt over it.
That is what peter was talking about there in regards to a broken extractor.

It took me exactly 2 minutes and 23 seconds to find you a quote you lazy no good slackers.....
Here Peter Capstick explains his method of "safe" carry in great detail.

I'm sure with the slightest amount of effort you can find many more of the same from PHC. I used to love to read his stuff and have seen it mentioned numerous times in his writings.
