Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Gunsmithing Mauser Safety problem

If you look at the safety, the leading edge that contacts the cocking piece is tapered. It starts thin and goes up to a standard thickness. This standard thickness is what holds the cocking piece in place so the trigger will not release. You need to file the leading edge to a sharper angle than what's on it now...just the very beginning 1/8 inch to help it engage the cp. If you taper it too much it will not hold the cocking piece back and when you pull the trigger the gun will fire. Clear as mud? powdr
