Why even have a trigger, if your going to make a rifle like that.
C-dub is telling it straight. I've seen it happen with .22LR and it's generally no big deal. If it happens with a centerfire cartridge, it's often catastrophic for the rifle (or pistol) and sometimes for the shooter.I figured as much. Still, I couldn't resist!
