Thread: Half cock or safety

If safety systems on rifles didn't work we would all know about it. USA is the home of litigation and if there was any chance a safety on a rifle didn't work as it was supposed to everyone would get their arse sued off.
I happily hunt using the safety on my T3 and am totally confident in it.
I also personally know of someone who pretty much shot their arm off when a "half cocked" bolt on a M77 MK2 closed in thick bush and the trigger was caught on something.

yeah the same is true for airplanes, cars and nuclear power plants, they would have stopped producing those if occasionally one of their components failed right?
