Remember, that the safety bar is curved slightly- I'd check the inletted channel on the inside top tang left barrel side of the stock- relieving it of crud and splinters so that the safety bar slides easily in that inletted area might help--and check the underside of the top lever, as there is a lobe that pushes the safety bar back when you open up the gun. Also check the cammimg surface on the cocking rod, for burrs, etc. The cams on the cocking rods are made as "opposite hand", the one for the right barrel will not work if it was somehow forced on to the left barrel cocking rod.RWTF
