This may properly be a Rifle Country question but I thought I'd be more likely to get the ear of Trapdoor aficionados in this sub-forum. I recently purchased a like-new H&R Trapdoor carbine replica. I'd like to hunt with it next year but frankly the firing pin-resting-on-the-primer makes me a little leary of walking through the woods with a loaded chamber. Is it possible to add a spring to keep the pin off the primer or would it even make a difference? Does anyone have experience hunting with a Trapdoor and if so how have you carried yours?
