Thread: Springfield 1903 safety ?

I just acquired a sporterized Springfield 1903. The safety lever has extra clearance laterally, once the bolt is cycled, the safety lever must be pushed forward( a heavy 1/16th") to engage the safety up. Any help in tightening up this clearance would be greatly appreciated.

On another note, am I safe to assume that the lower mag well follower is typically "crimped" to the flat mag spring. As this is also loose.

Thanks.

make sure it is screwed in right

and yes the mag well follower is typically "crimped" to the flat mag spring from the ones i have had
