Another reason to be careful when you load: slamfire

Great example of a slamfire. Loads his rifle and round goes down in the dirt:

Something to keep in mind...

Can't tell, did he have his finger on the trigger??

Looks off the trigger to me.

What kind of rifle is that?

Slam fires can transpire when loading, especially in ARs, 870s, 1911s, or any firearm with an inertia firing pin.

My slam fire was with an 870s. The Four Rules light is always on.

Add SKS's to that list. They can empty a mag during a slam fire if the firing pin gets bent as a result of the first.

I replaced mine with a spring loaded pin that's meant to prevent that from happening.

$30 is cheap peace of mind.

Definitely money well spent. Replaced the pin in my Yugo when, upon initial cleaning, I found that it didn't float freely. After dissassembly, the pin was visibly bent. Would have been a sure thing slam fire.

Charles Daly has stated on their website/forum that they are working on trying to get these manufactured in the US. Quite a long thread on it here:

Any chance of the IMI TAVOR line up coming in through C/D?

Charles Daly? Grrrrrreat... As if Glocks weren't troubling enough....
