JohnSorry to see that happen!!Sure looks like more than a finger tip to me.Excuse me for asking but why would you pull the trigger with the barrel open?
Wow. Well, at least it's the lefty. So asking for a friend who doesn't hold the barrel when loading... Said friend is super paranoid about sticking a finger in the transfer port area. But he thinks it's pretty safe to simply load a pellet in a break barrel, even if the sear were to let go?
Well, underlevers are the ones that are typically more dangerous, aren't they? I wouldn't stick my finger in a loading port without holding the barrel. B3 is known as the finger-lopper because it's an underlever.The geometry of a break barrel appears to make it unlikely to trap a finger, unless you're sticking a finger in the wrong place, down around the transfer port, no?I thought the most usual thing if a breakbarrel lets go is that the rifle will be damaged/destroyed. Not your finger.
