I have a tc encore that I forgot to put a primer in last year and I dry fired the rifle on a deer. I realized what happened and put a primer in and the rifle would not lock closed. I messed with it for a few minutes and finally it closed and locked. Then the hammer wouldn’t stay back. Again, I messed with it and not sure what made it happen, but it finally locked closed and the hammer stayed back. I managed to get the rifle back out the little hole in the blind and kill the deer.
My question is, is this common if you dry fire and encore ML and/or has this ever happened to anyone else? It has not happened again since.
