Abstract
A safety mechanism for rifles and shot guns in which hammer movement to strike the firing pin is prevented unless the trigger is pulled, thereby precluding inadvertent discharge. The safety mechanism is retrofittable into the population of rifles and shotguns utilizing the Remington Common Fire Control System (RCFCS) and with suitable dimensional adaptation into others, and includes an interceptor designed to engage the hammer and prevent movement thereof if the sear and hammer should become disengaged for any reason other than manipulation of the trigger.
