I got it together yesterday but something wasn't right. The safety button wouldn't work. I fiddle-farted with it a lot trying to get receiver in stock so the safety link would fall in the slot in the button bar. It looked right. I was just going to leave well enough alone but after sleeping on it, I decided to make a fresh attempt this morning. Another hour of fiddle-farting and holding my tongue just right, I got it in place. Maybe more dumb luck than skill.

I've had this problem on a Baker Leader. I bought it at a bargain price because safety didn't work and forend latch wasn't holding. It took no expense to fix other than time.

If there is a clever trick to aligning the top tang safely button with linkage, please share.
