Just in case anyone is sitting there thinking, "Yah, I always meant to check into that," here is the curriculum: http://homestudy.ihea.com/ Of course, attending a class with instructors will be more comprehensive and detailed, but this is the standard framework as used in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, South Africa, and New Zealand. (I have no idea how that combination came about.) Contact your state or province's conservation agency for more details. _________________ ¡Listo! ¡Apunte! ¡Fuego!   Posted: Mon Jan 26, 2009 2:27 am woodhippy Member Joined: 10 Jan 2009 Posts: 44 Location: I'm at home on the computer on airgunhome.com Did I take it a bit too far? _________________ "The Death of One Man is a Tragedy, The Death of Millions is a Statistic" Stalin Well...   Posted: Mon Jan 26, 2009 3:52 am Doc Sharptail Member Joined: 22 Jan 2009 Posts: 83 Location: Winnipeg ...all's swell that ends well. Like what's his name now- not yet mauled by the lathe, "In Due Time, My Pet" I've done similar, with an old yugo target pistol- turning the pull weight screw down too far. The 280 ish fps pellet made a nice crease across the palm of my hand, after loading, and closing the break bbl, she just slipped the sear of her own accord. Didn't break the skin, but left a good 3 day welt there... We get these not so subtle reminders from time to time. I've learned to heed them well!

From lessons learned I suppose, and I will wager this fellow doesn't go to pointing a gun without checking the chamber in the future. _________________ "The Death of One Man is a Tragedy, The Death of Millions is a Statistic" Stalin   Posted: Mon Jan 26, 2009 3:57 pm ustilago Member Joined: 07 Dec 2008 Posts: 24 Location: Coldhell, AB My first mistake was assuming that my cousin was as safe as I am. I don't care where you are, or who you think you are, guns (powder burners too) should never be stored or transported with a round chambered. Two pumps were put into the gun and the trigger was pulled while aiming in a safe direction. This "should" have cleared the action. This is why I don't like to work on other people's guns. Being a phase I (possibly phase II) 1377, with the sliding breech, it's pretty difficult to look down the bore (from the breech end) to visually check for a pellet.

Like woodhippy's suggestion of a cleaning rod/wood dowel being used as a probe.
