Thanks browningauto, that cleared it up in my mind.I just wanted to confirm that all being equal, typically the bolt is locked when firing a double by mistake. Thanks to Bruce in Oz also, you gave me a lot of good info. I like to learn as much as possible and this site sure has helped. By the way Bruce in Oz, if I understand correctly, you are in Australiaicon? I certainly am sympathetic with how the Aussies have been dealt with in regards to firearm ownership. It is a warning to us here in the USAicon!
