BTW - Re-assembling the Safety to the Bolt-Sleeve can be tricky. I use an awl to push the spring-loaded pin into the Safety-Lever.
If the pin is pushed in far enough, the Safety-Lever can be inserted into the Bolt-Sleeve and will hang up on the shoulder of the 'domed' tip of the pin. The awl can be removed and the Lever lightly tapped into placeĀ on the Sleeve with a plastic mallet. A bit of lubrication helps. (p.s. - The Safety-Lever, pin, and spring are a unit. They are not intended to be taken apart. The same goes for the Magazine Cut-Off Lever). |
