This is the No$ that I bought a few weeks back.

I ordered a No 4 safety and installed it after a few tries. Here is the problem. When I close the bolt and turn on the safety the striker will drop and be caught by the safety. turning the safety off at that point leaves the striker in the half cocked position. Its almost as if the cocking piece on the bolt assembly is slightly to long. My No5 completely disables the striker and no issues. Only difference I see is the length of the cocking piece is about .010" longer on the No4. Am I making a novice mistake or should I be looking into this deeper? I have disassembled the entire bolt. Is it possible I have reassembled something incorrectly.
