I was filming me shooting my late father's 1903 Springfield USMC reproduction sniper rifle in honor of the Marine Corps birthday today, and Veteran's Day tomorrow when I experienced a negligent discharge. I cleaned the rifle earlier and noticed that it didn't feel quite right and that the trigger was exceptionally light. I didn't put any rounds in it, as I wanted to make sure I was at the range and ready to go hot in case something was wrong.
It was. Had an ND at 4:43 in the video.
All other safety procedures followed, so not a huge deal. Still, was the first time I had a firearm go off when I didn't expect it. Well, other than when I was 10 and a BB gun went off. Scared me so much I have been careful for the last 44 years, lol.
