Yep, I do like the stalking safety found on fine British rifles, percussion and flintlock, but the crossbolt safety on any classic rifle is an abomination against God and man.Corporate libtard uglyfication of a beautiful classic rifle
The stalking safety is also used on German guns. This one is on a Jaeger I restored and it works like a charm.
Does this have a 1/2-cock notch, that the safety augments?
Stalking safeties were made as a stand alone safety for the gun when carried in full cock and/or the trigger set while stalking an animal. They are totally silent to disengage, where going to full cock and/or setting a trigger makes a nice metallic click.
They work, from experience. Luckily it was just paper I was firing at instead of an angry cape buffalo.

That Jaeger does have a half cock notch, but as Dusty said the stalking safety can be use with half cock or full cock. I still hunt and when on the move use it with half cock and when I find a spot to settle down full cock the hammer but don't set the trigger until ready to take a shot. The set trigger is pretty quiet.
