Forgot - One more thing. I took my T/C Hawken with the 45 cal GM LRH barrel out because I installed a T/C tang peep on it. Loaded it up with its favorite load and laid it across the sand bags. I pulled back the hammer and I was a bit high so I lifted the front end off the bags to 'bump' it down a bit. When the forearm hit the sand bags - KABOOM. Scared the crap out of me. I pulled the hammer back again to remove the spent cap and it fell forward again. Now this could be a dangerous situation!!
I put the gun up and came home. When I pulled the lock, the rod that runs through the coil spring somehow got bent on the end. And it looks as though the sear is becoming rounded. I have the lock in an envelope ready to head out to T/C tomorrow.
