From the comments, I find it concerning that a rifle sold with a safety that auto-sets on cocking can fail to auto-set on full strock cocking which can fire a pellet. If a trigger sometimes worked and did not, I can't imagine that going over well with anyone here. Watched a ton of videos on springers, but not all videos. I never heard or seen anyone say, oh, safety did not set and you need to do a little extra to ensure that. Typically, its the other direction, darn, forgot to turn off the safety, again with a shake of the head & facial expression. Read folks wanting or modifying to get rid of the safety entirely. It should work or not work and not be a gimmick. One should have the expectation of the product working as advertised. I shouldn't experience this on a new or well maintained rifle. I expect the cycle of operation to be repeatable and reliable (fire and or air rifle). Regardless of my opinion, we all know how to treat a loaded or unloaded rifle.
