Default Problems with an early Lefever safety

I posted this on the Lefever forums but thought I would post it here and see what ya all thought.

I just took delivery of a very nice G model. However, the seller did not mention that the safety would not “lock off safe”, i.e. it will not hold its position when pulled off safe and in fact there is a notable amount of spring pressure pushing it back on safe when I remove my thumb. Here is the gun:





Any ideas, before I try and find someone to fix what could be a simple repair that I might even be able to do. Also, does anyone know a competent smith close to down State Illinois who works on Lefevers just in case.

Thanks....
