[QUOTE="rcrdps, post: 586233, member: 14348"] It may not be the exact senario that I described, but I'd still say it was a "stuck" shell for whatever reason. Coulda been dirt or something. Might have been just oversized enough that it didn't fully seat, but the hammer dropping on the carrier seated it. So then when he took it apart and re-cocked the hammer, it was able to fire. When it fires, it jerks that shell out with quite a bit of force that is fairly impossible to duplicate with the charging handle. So it's jammed until it fires or until you pry it out. I have shot shells where I knew if they didn't fully seat, I was in for an unjamming session. I'm hard headed like that and didn't feel like dissasembling them and resizing. That's all hypothetical of course. I have no clue what caused yours to stick. But I think the way it jammed and the fix is still the same. The saftey not moving is by design. You can't engage the saftey unless the hammer is cocked. Well,... you can, but you have to force it. It's not designed to do that though. Gene [/QUOTE]
