I think the accident could still happen even if you were, in fact BECAUSE OF holding the cocking lever. You've cocked the rifle and are returning the lever to battery - halfway through returning the lever the sear lets go, the antibeartrap fails and the lever smashes your hand into the lever catch. The chap WAS probably following the safe proceedure.
if i had let go of the leaver it wouldnt of put the clip in my hand would it fool !
Is Neil a secret Chinese rifle collector? Having had two fine examples off him already I don't need this one But if anyone wants as DB4 custom, hes the man to deal with.
