Troy Par safety issue?

[superlative]

Does anyone have a Troy PAR, and noticed that if you press the trigger (but do not release the trigger), and then rack the pump and release the trigger - the hammer drops? Is this a safety issue?

That is not what is supposed to happen, Are you sure?

You could be hearing the re-set.

This.

I bet you are just feeling and hearing a very strong and tactile reset. Do as you have said: dry fire, hold trigger while you pump, release trigger (this is where you are saying the hammer drops) now pull the trigger for another dry fire and I bet this time the hammer actually drops for real.

Nope - it's definitely not a reset - the hammer drops. Subsequent presses of the trigger does nothing.

Can someone with a Troy PAR test this? thanks.

Just tried mine and this is exactly what is happening. Works as designed.

Take a short video with the upper and lower separated of the trigger reset.

As well as a video of the assembled rifle doing what you describe.

Some shotguns do this too. Not a safety issue.

I have dry fired mine a lot and never had that issue. If yours is doing that something is wrong.

Mine just resets when I slide the action closed. No hammer follow or dead trigger.

However, just messing around I noticed that if I unlock the action and pull the trigger the hammer hits hard enough to move the bolt back into battery. Not sure if the bolt being unlocked will prevent the firing pin from reaching the primer and if enough energy is used up moving the bolt to prevent the primer being struck hard enough to go bang.

I am play with this with some primed cases without charge and projectile to see what happens.

The action release is pretty well protected from being accidentally pushed but....ol Murphy is a prick eh.

Okay, found out the source of the problem is a faulty trigger. After replacing the trigger, the problem is fixed.

However - try this - rack the pump but do not fully insert the cartridge into the chamber (use a snap cap) - in other words "out of battery". Now press the trigger - the hammer drops. I tried this on an AR, and the AR does this too. What are people's thoughts about this?

Please provide more details. Did you change the trigger to another brand or did the OEM trigger break?

What's the concern? You do understand that the firing pin cannot protrude from the bolt face unless it is in battery right?

Do you work for CNN?

Not an issue - Depending exactly how you do it, the hammer won't strike the firing pin, or if it does, the firing pin can't reach the primer until the gun is locked up. Double redundancy. If you're concerned, try it with a primed empty case - you'll find you aren't even getting light primer strikes.
