Boxlock safety mechanism - How good?
      22/08/09 08:10 AM

Hey guys,

Just wondering if I can get some info on how reliable/bombproof the safety is on a boxlock action. And yes, I know the whole "never trust a safety" and watch muzzle direction and what not, so no worries there. I'm just curious how is stands in relations to other actions.

For example, I would say the wing safety on a mauser setup is pretty much infallable, vs. a savage bolt action where (with a bit of tweaking of course), I can get the firing pin to drop with a vigorous shake of the rifle. The crossbolt safety on lever guns I would also say is bombproof too. So just curious where the boxlock fits in.
