Thread: Half cock or safety

I think the 1/2 cock was a "thing" when every man and his dog used old milsurp 303's which cock I believe on closing.

Your primary safety is your trigger finger and muzzle direction awareness assuming you only load the chamber when you expect rifle to be immediately ready to go "bang" which is not when you are walking behind your mate for example.

The only reason why you may choose NOT to trust your modern rifle/modern safety is if you or someone else has tutu'ed with the trigger to make it "better"
