No, firing pin is retracted inside of the bolt when uncocked and held back via a spring.

Thanks for that info. I'm not really a 99 guy, didn't know if it was set up with a rebound spring or what.

It looks like the 357 Marlin is gonna be out of my price range.
The Savage 99 will probably be too heavy for my wife also, and too complicated for her ( & me) to operate at 200% adrenaline.
I'll keep looking for a 41 or 44 Marlin. Maybe I can find a hardware store brand or Glenfield. Did they make them in pistol cals??

I haven't hunted with a levergun since 1966 (savage 99,.303 Savage)but I've sold a pile over the years,mostly Wins,but Marlinn and Savages as well.The only one that intrigued me was the BLR.I am NOT a Browning fan but for some reason it struck me as a well thought out,versatile lever action.Agree ,disagree? I don't know anyone who shoots one anymore, Monashee

I owned a Browning 92 in 357 that I sorely regret selling. I traded it and a whole bunch of guns including a Colt Python 4" stainless for cash for a Bobcat purchase. I need the Bobcat but I loved that Browning 92.
