[QUOTE="Catt57, post: 2822372, member: 34578"] I had one with a .22 rifle. Glenfield 75c (Marlin 60 carbine). I was replacing the trigger assembly that was still serviceable but had a broken tang. I emptied the magazine, shook it several times, left the inner tube out, racked the bolt 4-5 times, looked in the chamber 3 times and verified I could see the empty chamber clearly, and nothing in the lifter. I then disassembled the rifle and replaced the trigger assy. During this process I could see there was no round in the lifter or chamber as well. I put the new trigger in, reassembled the rifle, inserted the inner magazine tube, verified the empty chamber again and racked the bolt. Pointed in a safe direction and pulled the trigger to test. Imagine the stain in my shorts when it went BOOM! Even a .22 is loud when you aren't expecting it. Thankfully no one was hurt and nothing was damaged because i had it pointed safely. The only thing I can figure is that there was one stuck in the magazine tube and that's the one thing I didn't verify. [/QUOTE]
