I've had that fox on camera off and on for a few months. Late this afternoon the little dude comes trotting into my feeder area and stands there at 25-yards facing me. I get a bead on him and "clank". The hammer drops onto the cross-bolt safety!!! He tears out of there so fast he was in the next county before I could regroup.
Guess I never have gotten used to that stupid safety. My first 336 only had the 1/2 cock, which was always good enough. I sold that old beater years ago (mistake) and replaced it recently as I love lever guns and guess I always missed having the old beater around.
My first chance on a fox ever. Likely he'll never give me another chance.
Anybody ever remove the cross-bolt on a 336?
