[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 866976, member: 25383"] Maybe I'm the odd man out, but with the Remington, I just leave the bolt about halfway open. Then when I'm ready to shoot, I close it. The one safety I always had an issue with was the one that Remington and others mounted on the trigger guard. Just never trusted it (shotguns). When I was going thru basic training in the Army, we were lectured about the safety and the M14 rifle at the range (well a couple guys also got a size 14 boot in their butts as well). After all was said and done, and right before we went to the line for our first shots, he loads an M14 rifle, and starts tamping it's butt end on a block of hardwood. After about four or five tamps the rifle went off with the safety engaged! A deeply engraved impression! Much later I had to go thru a week long M16 orientation (only guys from the "big four" went). It was pretty easy and I never had any issues. Then we started doing full auto stuff. One mag right after another as fast as we could shoot four or five shot bursts. They call a check fire to point out some issues that a few of us had, and no one was within eight feet of a rifle. A rifle had a cook off and went thru about ten rounds! If I remember right the safety was engaged! Never trusted a safety ever again! gary [/QUOTE]
