I see what you are talking about.
When the bolt is back, it pushes the hammer down, so pulling the trigger does nothing. If you hold the trigger and let the bolt forward, the hammer is caught by the disconnecter, just like when you fire the rifle and hold the trigger back. You have to release the trigger to release the hammer from the disconnecter and have it held by the sear, so the trigger again works.
You can still pull the trigger with the bolt back, but it has no affect.
