[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1913955, member: 24284"] You have it backwards, the cocking piece is too far forward, not allowing the safety to engage and cam it to the rear off of the sear. When you activate the safety, it should cam the cocking piece (and firing pin it is connected to) to the rear by .020" to .025". If the sear is holding the cocking piece to far to the rear for the safety to move the firing pin to the rear it is not a safe condition. Then you might remove some material from the sear so the safety engages and moves the firing pin to the rear the amount it is supposed to. When fitting, you should be removing a few thou at a time to avoid over cutting. It's file and stone work! [/QUOTE]
