Great story! I love to hear the anecdotes behind the equipment..."Everyone has a story"...

Since you said the toggle still works, I trust you verified the chamber was empty???

There was an unfortunate accident here in the Colonies some years back involving some boys who found an old rusted .22 automatic and attempted to free up the action, not knowing there was still a live round in the chamber...
