RE: Rifle went off in my hands!!!!!
#1 This will happen to all of us . I emptied a S&W tiped it up pushed the ejector counted the five in hand closed the cylinder and promtly shot my headboard .
#2 Its only a mechanical device and as safe as the guy behind it . My grandfather never bought anything of second rate His model 70 was ad'ed in camp when he moved the saftey after a spill with his horse .
#3 Mauser safties aren't infallable either.
Getsme going every time . taking remote learning course in gunsmithing ,that instructer advises to roughly subject the gun to all manor of abuse including a rubber mallet to action bolt trigger gard then stricking the but on the floor using a 2ft drop more if fitted with a recoil pad. Also using a two finger max squeeze with safty on then push safty off and repeat all above . For any trigger or safty repair or adjustment .
