Can someone tell me what the purpose of the 1/2 cock notch in the cocking piece of my No4 Mk1*. On my rifle when you pull the cocking piece to the 1/2 cock position it locks up the bolt and the rifle is in a safe condition. What I don't understand is why it was necessary when the rifle already has a good safety that is easier to use. There must be more to the story?
