[QUOTE="Bullet bumper, post: 912083, member: 17844"] Another safety test you should do on a Mauser 98 with this safety is check the gun is empty cock the bolt and apply the safety watch the cocking piece for slight rearward movement . Then squeeze the trigger a few times and then let the safety off . If it fires the safety has been incorrectly fitted . When put on the safety it should draw the cocking piece back somewhat if it does not and the safety is very easy to engage it will usually fire if put off after the trigger has been squeezed . This can happen inadvertently on your clothing , pack straps , twigs on a bush whatever . Then when you slip the safety off it goes bang! and could be a tragedy . The person who fitted it has taken off too much metal in order to make it easier to apply but in doing so has made it dangerous. A new safety will be required . [/QUOTE]
