I'm watching Silverado. There's a scene in which one of the characters cocks his rifle to make a point. I was watching it and it occurred to me that in the early 1880s carrying your rifle with an empty chamber might have been a very prudent thing to do.
So my question is when was the firing pin block invented and when did it become common?
