I recently acquired one of these and want to know if there is a half cock feature on this carbine. Mine does not seem to have it and I am wondering if it is malfunctioning. My carbine was built prior to the crossbolt being added to the winchester line. Thanks in advance for any help.

Taking a guess,while the experts gather their
thoughts, I think it has a rebounding hammer
and on fireing it comesback slightly, so if the safety can be applied when uncocked the fireing pin will not be on a live primer anyway.?

Thanks for replying, JAL. I think I may have found out the info I needed...my carbine does indeed have a rebounding hammer and from what I read elsewhere on the web, has no half-cock feature. I do not plan to carry it around with a round in the chamber, but wanted to make sure it is not malfunctioning.
I appreciate any and all additional replies, however, as this firearm was purchased used and did not include the owner's manual.
Best regards,
Mike
