That particular site has been blacklisted because it's a blatantly anti-gun corporation, and spends significant money on anti-gun lobbyists. I personally do not patronize them if I can help it at all.
Slam firing is possible but seems improbable outside of extremely sensitive primers. The firing pins in these beasts are pretty light, and rely on a good strong hammer spring.
It's not a dumb question at all. I use the way the safety operates to verify that my rifles aren't stored with the firing mechanism under tension. If I pick up my rifle and can engage the safety, I know I need to verify an empty chamber and take the tension off the firing mechanism. If I can't, I know I will have to cycle the bolt before the rifle can be fired. It's a double-safe standard, if the safety can't be engaged, it can't be fired.
Hey, go ahead and post a WTB/WTT ad for your BCG and since you've sold this, I'll go ahead and close it. It's fine to post your stuff up for sale, you're contributing to the community so far, we're good with it.
Hey brother, it's a great scope, nobody's going to knock it... Edge is only picking with you. It's pretty laid back around here, if somebody really snobs you, that won't be tolerated.
I think you made a great choice, congratulations brother.
I'm not running a heavy buffer, but I do have a Tubb CS spring, I've never had any problems with it. I can't speak for Clint or what his reasons for not liking the CS springs were, but I believe him when he says he feels the Armalite spring is the best one you can get. Myself, I don't intend to throw out my CS spring until it proves to be a liability.
I have nothing but the highest regard for anyone who wears the badge and gun and does so with integrity and professionalism. Our LEOs here are a outstanding group and you do yourselves and your profession credit. My thoughts and prayers for your safe return home go up daily.
