I have a late model 99F, factory drilled for scope and tang safety. Two part question.
First, the safety is very sporadic. When working the lever open and closed, with no ammo in it, 9/10 times the safety is able to be manipulated after closing the action. When actually shooting, 3/4 times the safety will NOT work when I have closed the action and loaded another round. Why would this be. I have tried just 'closing the action more violently' thinking it wasnt closing all the way or something. No luck.
Secondly, my rear sight appears to missing a sight step. It does not have an adjustment for elevation like my .30-30 does, and it shoots over a foot low. I found replacement sight steps on numrich, but how are these installed???
Thanks for your time gents,
