I couldn't believe what I'd heard and it still doesn't make sense to me. Maybe I'm missing something here but have the lawyers gotten into redesigning trigger safety mechanisms and we've just missed it?? Anyone else catch this? Yotebuster |
Yes, they are. That's why the aftermarket trigger/sear business is thriving.
I've been thinking on it, and it could have been caused by one of several options:
1. They forgot to load the rifle. (Safety, you know.)
2. The "professional" guide and/or the star, being EXPERTS and all, just got the rifle from the sponsor, took it out of the box, maybe with the scope already mounted, figured it was good to go, handed it to the kid, and said "Smile." No cleaning or shakedown to be sure it would work or was sighted in.
3. The lubricant in the bolt thickened due to cold weather, and slowed the firing pin's fall.
Sheesh! If'n ya can't trust the guys on the Huntin' shows, who can ya...???
