DH with a stuck safety

If safety does not move, loosen each screw @1/8 turn each until safety moves then loctite in place. If there is too much loosening to make it work, you can shim top or bottom depending which area is too deep

I think you may be on to something....as I recall when I was playing with it, the safety would slide back and forth, but when I locked all the screws down, it wouldn't slide anymore. I might have to remove a little bit of wood below the safety??
