It is actually very easy to fix. Take the firing pin out of the bolt bodyand thenremove it from the bolt shroudand at thefront right of the cocking pieceyou will see a "cut out" in the cocking piece where the safety engages it and pulls it off of the sear. Mark the "cut out" with magic marker and reinstall it in the gun and work the safety back and forth. It will wear away the magic marker. Take it back out andwhere the marker is worn away is where you will need to use a fine file and ceramic stone to very gently enlarge the "cut out". It will only take a few thousandths of an inch of material removed to make it work properly.

Shouldn't take more than about 15 minutes.

If you do not feel comfortable messing with the safety let a gunsmith do it for you.

You DO NOT want to remove too much steel.


This is an aftermarket part but you can see where the cut out is in the pic. The arrow is where you want to remove material. The safety is likely hanging up right on the edge.
