No double safety on Omegas like Knight & some other brands have. To avoid damage to the firing pin/plastic plunger, do not fire the Omega without a primer.

This is exactly how I found out my Rolling Block 54 inline was a collector's item. Upon cleaning my Rolling Block, I stood the rilf up against the couch to let the Ballistol penetrate/bond with the wood stock. My dog decided that would be the perfect time to chase my cat around the house. The rifle was knocked over -- the trigger was released with the exact same striking set-up as the omega & the plastic plunger/firing pin was pushed too far forward & destroyed with no #11 cap or primer to stop it.

By phone, Cabelas Online tech told me to return the rifle to a nearby store & the gun counter manager would write it up & send it in for repairs. Well the counter manager offered to buy the 8 year old, fired around 750 times rifle for the exact same price I paid for it ($299). The gun itself was in excellent condition so I agreed & five minutes later, I used that $299 towards a purchase of my T/C Omega.
