Just how serious is this, really?  Obviously,it can be a concern if dropping or bumping the rifle could cause the hammer to drop- that said, i'm fairly certain my hammer moves foreward when the trigger is slowly pulled.  The move foreward,by the hammer, is pretty close to the end of the trigger pull so i suppose it could be neutral... anyway, if i remove the dust cover and the recoil spring..  cock the hammer by sliding the bolt back.. and then,rather than remove the bolt slide it foward again(by depressing the magazine latch) until it is closed and in battery (obviously unloaded,but we'll state it anyway..) Now, I can see the hammer- cocked back- and the bolt is closed fully..holding the bolt foreward and locked, with the trigger safety On.. i can Literally slam the butt against the ground, repeatedly, HARD, and the hammer Will Not drop without removing the safety, and squeezing the trigger.  So here's my question:  If the hammer absolutely will NOT drop,no matter how hard the rifle is 'bumped' or slammed..  is the neutral/or negative sear engagement still an issue?
