Half ####

[Mumptia]

From the discussions around the firepit comes another conundrum:

I say the half #### on a lever is a safety and my buddy says is isn't.

What do you guys think? :?:

 

[woodchopper]

is is one of the safeties

 

[Steyr101]

Definately a safety. It is the only safety feature on many lever actions, along with the lever having to be completly closed by hand pressure.

But no doubt, it's a safety.

 

[Ronforca]

It is a safety for sure.

 

[dizzy dan 1]

Safety for sure. DAN>>>

Tell your buddy he's a dummy. :wink:

Unless your buddy is the hottie in your avatar. Then play "Strip Gun Knowledge". You'll win for sure, especially with your CGN buddies as referrees.

It's definately a saftey. Your buddy's a boob. Hit him over the head with a rolled up copy of the firearms course book.

Regretfully it is a safty . I have never been comfortable with just that . There is a reason behind the saying " Going off half cocked " not for me though.

 

[BIGREDD]

It is so the gun don't go off when opening tin cans... Safety :!:

That's the arguement. I cannot disagree with it.

I'm a full time memebr of LAA (Lever Action Aholics) and I can't disagree with the inherent danger with taking the hammer off half #### as no other safety has that issue, but when that sucker is on no drop or blow will set it off.

My BLR has a cool hammer break on it. Gp to half #### and the hammer thumb pull pushes forward for an extra bit of safety.

Ironic that the .30.30 is a popular first time rifle for many first timers and the half #### is the safest when on but most danderous when letting it off or pulling to full ####. :?

Did I just say pulling to full ####? I need to get laid. :wink:

x2 When I dog deer with my Lever, it's one up and no full #### or half ####.
