Original Mod 45 Safety dont work

[schony]

Just bought one of these and very pleased with it, however the safety doesnt work. When you cock the rifle the safety pops out and shows safe ( but it aint and will fire when the trigger is pulled ) does anyone know about how to fix this or had the problem themselves?

Attached to the safety that pops out underneath is a piece of thin steel, once the safety is on it covers a stop pip or what ever it's called on the trigger stopping it moving when pulled., common for these to be bent so not covering in correct place or snapped off.
Original put out a recall for these ,few were replaced for a solid plastic unit .
Not dif to replace if broken or gently bend back straight

Thankyou for that. I am a bit nervous as I heard the trigger can be difficult to re fix

This can be done with just the action out of the stock if it just needs bending back or adjustment to the pins depth.

Be aware the sears wear out quicker than you might expect!

They changed the safety after around serial 245000, according to John Weeks' Airgun Book. My recollection is that the early ones in particular could become unsafe in the way you suggest.

The same goes, incidentally, for the safety on the FWB Sport, which FWB never changed. I had one that would fire when the safety was released. Eek.

Always use safety catches. But never rely on them.

Beeman states in his blue Book of Airguns that the longer safety was recalled because they were faulty.
