First of all pulling the trigger to make sure a loaded firearm is safe is a dumb idea.

My guess is that when he cycled a round into the chamber he short stroked the lever, which caused poor engagement of the hammer. When putting the rifle into half cock mode, the hammer was just barely hanging on, and was shook free by the minuscule amount of play when thumbing the trigger like a tard.

The half cock cut in the hammer was very dirty and kept the sear from completely engaging it or wasn't cut deep enough from the factory.
