After reading the poll on semiauto slide release 1001 ways I was wondering if there may be more than one way to lower the hammer on a Lever Action Rifle.
This is the way I have been dioing it for years. No one ever showed me how so I learned by doing.
1) Load the Tube Magazine with as many rounds as you want.
2) Lever the Action to chamber a round. This also Cocks the Hammer.
3) While keeping your thumb firmly on the hammer. Point the gun at the ground and pul the trigger. Lower the hamer all the way down.
4) If the Pistol ( some do some dont) has a half cock position. pull the hammer back until it locks. If it does not. Put the hammer between chambers. I have yet to see a rifle that has a half cock so you just leave the hammer all the way down. This runs the risk if you snag on a branch that the hammer may pull back and you get an accidental discharge. There has to be a better way.
Any suggestions.
