Hello.
My buddy what one of these and it seems that when its on the s position it fires and the f position its on safety.
am I wrong or is this backwards? Any other reports on this? Tnx
 
It sounds backwards. I haven't ever turned the safety on my rossi. But in hindsight I wouldn't get the 22/410. I would opt for the 22/20. 410 shells are $15 a box of 25 on average vs $5-7 for 20 gauge.
 
I have a old Marlin 22 mag bolt that has a backwards safety. So its not that uncommon to see or hear of another firearm every now and then having one.
 
Use them but never trust them !!!!

I certainly cannot speak to every rifle that has an F and S. position on the action but generally, doesn't it make sense to have the safety in what is revealed or clearly indicating? We all know that Red is dead and Green is safe.
As friend of mine once said he had this problem with and older Mossberg and asked if I could fix it. I just reversed the red and green buttons on the stock and for a time, that was a little confusing for him. ...... :confused:

In Hunter Safety classes, we teach the students to learn and use "all" safeties on their firearms but never to trust them !!! ..... ;)

Be Safe !!!

No, I don't *think* that it's actually backward - I believe it was intended - when the lever is "on top of" the red F, the green S is "uncovered" and showing, meaning THAT is the state it's in (Safe). Meaning that the one covered up is not what state it is in, but the one exposed and easy to read.

And conversely, when the lever is "on top of" the green S, the red F is "uncovered" and showing, meaning THAT is the state it's in (Fire).

But I can see how you could interpret it the opposite - is that what is happening? I could be wrong.
