The intention is to mitigate the effects by blocking any sudden closing of the action and thus protect your fingers. <br /><br />This type of incident is possible with ANY sidelever cocking air rifle, not just the QB57. <br /><br />I want as many people as possible to be aware of the issue so they can be safe. <br /><br />If you have any concerns, please don't buy the QB57. <br /><br />Also remember that break barrel air rifles also should have their "broken" barrel held at all times to avoid a similar possible slamming accident and damage to fingers.Stephen Archerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13543155589352079608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6186681188953339980.post-57066006707585246872013-07-09T21:59:10.785-04:002013-07-09T21:59:10.785-04:00I have a question.

What I need confirmation with is...is there any chance that the bolt can slam shut even if the cocking lever is held back?<br /><br />Getting a QB57 very soon and feeling a little afraid for my fingers now. <br /><br />Thanks.

Complacency is a nightmare, roofers fall off roofs and electricians electrocute themselves, very hard to guard against it other than constant safety training. air rifles ukhttp://www.airriflesuk.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6186681188953339980.post-47536532708263638142011-09-18T10:41:58.105-04:002011-09-18T10:41:58.105-04:00exactly why i wont even consider that type of air ...exactly why i wont even consider that type of air gun ... but im only a human and i can't be counted on to do something perfectly every single timejeffnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6186681188953339980.post-59216610775725341692011-09-18T09:48:21.910-04:002011-09-18T09:48:21.910-04:00Todd, appreciate your candid willingness to share ...Todd, appreciate your candid willingness to share this with us.
