Henry Rifle With Loading Gate?

Come on.... be honest.
Your reading comprehension is lacking. I said almost, not did. I was talking about a Marlin. To drop the hammer your finger has to be pulling the trigger. My hand slipped causing the hammer to move forward under its own power. Somehow the round didn't fire but the primer had a large indent in it. I hunt in bad weather fairly often so the crossbolt safety is a welcome addition to the gun for me.
