My newer (New Haven) model 70 safety engages harder than my old 70's vintage 70, and also snaps to "off" louder.
The newer rifle pulls the firing pin a little farther back off the sear than the older rifle.
Does any reputable gunsmith redo the engagement surfaces of the safety/firing pin so that rearward movement of the firing pin is minimal so that the firing pin doesn't have to snap front so far when disengaging the safety?
Or at the very least,
Is it unsafe for me to polish the small bevel where the safety engages the firing pin to at least make engagement easier?
