FWB Sport Safety Tab Question

[ken69]

Gents,
There have been a couple of posts regarding the Feinwerkbau Sport on here recently which got me thinking about a problem I have on a 127. Can anyone point me in the right direction as to why the safety tab fails to engage the trigger. The tab travels back into the safe position when the rifle is cocked but does not stop the trigger from being operated
Thanks in advance,
Ken

Could it be that this tab is bent or missing?

I bought one new in 1978 took it back had it supposedly fixed still never worked my friend bought one same time different shop his never worked.....I got a second hand one I bought 10 years ago same does not stop trigger being pulled.....great rifle useless safety and in the wrong hands dangerous

Point of interest [ maybe ]. If you remove the first part of the safety slide the safety catch becomes manual only rather than automatic.

Regarding Safety Catch problems : is this possibly due to damage in the area where the Lug engages with the top of the Trigger ?

Just an idea,
