[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 572859, member: 8873"] Not to start an argument but that's not entirely true. By design that's the truth but if the firing pin has a catastrophic failure and breaks off of the cocking lever on moving the bolt up it could have enough force to hit the primer and set it off. You would know this happened when you worked the bolt again, if the gun didn't become a grenade in your hand! To me this sounds like a hang fire, as in a failure of the primer or powder to ignite properly. The bad thing is you may never know, where is the rifle now? [/QUOTE]
