Having problems with the safety. anyone else having this problem?
On my 1895 Chileno Lowe Berlin the safety is stuck on 09 o'clock and will not go to 12 o'clock or 3 o'clock position. If I take the bolt apart and put it back together with safety paddle at 12 o'clock then it will go to 3 o'clock position and back to 12 o'clock but if I go to 9 o'clock it hangs up again.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

Could be the cocking piece not being screwed in all the way, or else somebody decided to try to "smooth up" the trigger by sanding the trigger or cocking piece. If that is the case, you will need to do some judicious trimming to reduce the length of the cocking piece at the front edge.
