Went pig hunting with two friends and they were shooting 7.62x39. Since I never used that caliber I borrowed one of theirs to have a go.
Not impressed particularly by their choice of chinese military ammo. Yuk. Give me my Sako 243 back please!
Used it uneventfully all day, until the time i tried to take a shot and forgot to take the safety off.
Annoyed, I took the safety off and the rifle fired. Boy I almost wet my pants.
I gave the rifle back immediately and told him it was faulty and knowing him asked what he did to it.
He told me he had 'worked' on the trigger.
With an empty chamber I tested it again. The safety worked preventing the rifle from firing but if you test the safety by pulling the trigger, the firing pin seemed to travel past the trigger and rest on the safety so as soon as the safety was released the firing pin would finish its journey towards the case.
Bloody DIY gunsmithing!
