[QUOTE="jbrentd, post: 2804241, member: 24925"] I'm not sure that it's a design "flaw", but I don't have a lot of single shot rifles to compare it to. Upon breaking the action open, the trigger goes to half cock. The only way that can happen is if you manipulate the hammer and drop it all the way down after you have the action open. I do have an old JC Higgins single shot 410. I noticed the hammer has two springs...one is the main spring and another smaller spring that pushes it in the opposite direction so the firing pin doesn't protrude through the breach face in the resting position. Maybe that would have been a better design. Regardless, the guy (admittedly) should have better familiarized himself with the gun, IMO. [/QUOTE]
