Geo., why don't you try another version of Montana's (Christine btw) idea and tape your THUMB to the stock?

You're screwed...find a gunsmith nearer to you. Or, heck, call up Nick Makinson. He has been able to turn this sort of thing around in a week. The secret is that Nick doesn't shoot or hunt.

Hey, JayCee, btw I never did master that trick of using the sidelever Grant to eject hulls capable of being caught in my hip pocket... That remains the single best suggestion from this board.

Assuming you have a padded or rubber recoil pad try cocking the gun and pushing the safety off so it is in the fire position. Then holding it by the barrels about 8 inches off of a carpeted floor release your grip and let it free fall to the floor and see if the safety goes on. When cutting the stock i assume you removed it from the action. Did you clean and oil any parts,did you tighten the screws to tight. What ever it is should be a simple problem to fix. Good Luck.

Rd Show,
Dunno whether the stock was taken off to cut or not. Probably was though and something didn't go back just right. I tried your drop it on the floor trick and the safety went back but it took more of a drop to make it happen than it seems like a 7/8 oz. load would generate in recoil.
That was a good idea, just like Montana's tape trick. Why didn't I think of this stuff.
Anyhow, it looks like a look inside and an adjustment of something will be required...Geo

There is a ball bearing that locks the safety in the off position. It has to be in proper adjustment or it will walk on.
If you read my post, you will see that I recommend Gunter Pfrommer for all such work. Incidentally, I just received my ICD back from him today that had the same problem.
The odds are slim that you are putting the safety back on with your thumb and you can check this easily. Even though you think there is sufficient pressure to keep the safety on, that isn't necessarily true. Yes, I've had this problem more than once and it never was pilot error. I shoot thousands of rounds annually through my ICD's and have plenty of experience with issues like this.
