    Quick word of caution to anybody keeping a model 97 with the hammer at 1/2 cock...manually lowering the hammer on a live round is a recipe for an accidental discharge. There's a hole in my dad's porch because of this. It seems the back of the action can bump your thumb off the hammer, allowing it to fall just enough enough to ignite a primer. Dunno about the nor income model, but the original winchester manual specifically cautions against this.
