| That's an interesting situation and solution Sean, one I've never encountered.
On disassembly Sgt, you should also inspect the pick-up ramp of the safety body as well as the engagement face at the front of the cocking piece. What you will be looking for is galling, burrs or abnormal wear pattern. If you find any of these the most economical option would be to replace the part. In the case of a numbers matching rifle I would suggest retaining the original part/s somewhere where they/it won't be misplaced.
