Yeah, it's my opinion that a half-cock hammer is all the safety a lever gun needs.I would imagine if it has a crossbolt, the hammer is only two position. No half cock.
I agree, but banging your front sight against a tree on a hunt can put a damper on things too. I've seen enough bent-in 336 front hoods to know why they do it.Sad to see that they stayed with the hooded front sight. Lame for many reasons.

You mean like having to remove the air mass meter so you can take the cover off of the air cleaner housing so you can remove the back half of the air cleaner housing, so you can remove the battery and a fuse panel housing so you can remove the lower battery box so you can tighten a radiator hose clamp? That is what I did after dinner this evening.I'm a contractor by trade, and I see this issue daily.
Anytime you see the term "field fit" in the installation instructions you know you're about to have loads of fun.
Light fixtures, plumbing fixtures, small appliances like range hoods, bath exhaust fans...
designers and engineers should be required BY LAW to successfully install their own designs in a real-world type setting before allowing the products to market.
They wouldn't do a lot of things they do if they were on the other end...
