Problems with an early Lefever safety

Best to take the stock off, and reassemble receiver, and check the operation of the safety. I've done this with Smith and Lefever safetys many times. Just a thought? Buck Hamlin is the man to help though.

Chris: Thanks for the info. That was one of the things Buck and I talked about.
