Most probably,as mentioned before, the trigger was never cleaned, and gunk building up in it will certainly cause that malfunction. I've "fixed" problems like that by simply pulling the rifle out of the stock and cleaning the trigger well with brake cleaner. I really like the older triggers because they can be made to work very well. The problem can certainly occur when people monkey with the trigger improperly and do not perform the safety checks afterward. I have seen it happen when people, unused to the lighter trigger pull, throw the safety with their finger still in the trigger guard and pull the trigger inadvertently. There is also the possibility of an adjusted trigger screw backing out. I will use finger polish on it to insure that it does not happen. I was told quite a while ago never to put oil on a trigger, as it will trap any dust and dirt it comes into contact with. I follow that advice. Above all, never put any WD 40 on a trigger.
