'..unscrew the rocker....' If by this you mean the tang that goes into the cylinder, well, I never put my precious banjo playing digits into the orifice (or any other orifice ) until the rifle is FULLY cocked. The chances of the safety, sear, rod and tang failing all at the same time is about as rare as me winning a dancing or charm competition.
