[QUOTE="IdahoCTD, post: 605037, member: 13110"] Looks like the trigger was adjusted too low and when you closed the bolt it released the firing pin (either too little sear engagement, too light on the spring tension, or a combination of both). It didn't strike it hard enough to go off but hard enough to dent the primer. Definitely not a safe situation. Check it without ammo and see if the firing pin remains cocked when you close the bolt normal and then try it with slamming the bolt closed. If the firing pin doesn't stay cocked either way the trigger is adjusted wrong. [/QUOTE]
