[QUOTE="memtb, post: 1604277, member: 75451"] MagnumManiac, Perhaps I’ve misunderstood the event! But, is it possible ( assuming this is a New Haven rifle) that the - trigger adjustment lock nut backed-off, causing incorrect sear ingagement? This happened to a friend of mine. While sitting in a late 60’s Model (All Metal cab), was chambering a round in his .338 WM, anticipating elk to come across the park he was watching. When closing the bolt, the rifle fired....in uncontrolled panic, he quickly ejected the spent case, and promptly closed the bolt, firing another round! It only required two shots to kill the old Chevy truck! memtb [/QUOTE]
