NW3840, help me out, what clock are you using, I have what is believed to be a left hand clock, it runs counter clock-wise, I know that makes no sense to anyone but it was designed to be used for those working with a clock behind them,, all they had to do was look into a mirror. On the front of the safety is a bevel/ramp, the bevel cams the cocking piece back, many years ago a friend built one magnificent 30/06 using a Peruvian Mauser. the proud owner returned the rifle with problems, my friend is no longer able to the work so he asked me to look at it. The safety configuration was as described in another thread/question on removing a bolt from a receiver that does not allow the safety to hold the cocking piece back far enough to unscrew the firing pin assemble. Long story.
When finished I took the rifle to the range, most impressive accuracy.
