How do I fix this?
 
I had a safety lever break one time, it then got stuck in fire. Does it sit at the same angle as normal? Mine was just a bit off.
I would remove the bolt aground if possible and inspect everything.
 
Agreed. Assuming the rifle is unloaded, attempt to remove and disassemble the bolt. This should reveal whether you have a broken safety or perhaps some odd misalignment.
 
Is the bolt in the rifle? If so, it should be able to be cocked and moved to the half-safe and all-safe position.

If the bolt was sprung outside of the rifle, it must be hand cocked very carefully while an assistant puts it into safe position. It can then be reinstalled into the rifle.

Hello there. I’ve been wanting to introduce myself personally & chat with you about hunting Nilgai. Give me a call sometime…

+1 Great to deal with. I purchased custom rifle. No issues.

I saw you were looking for some Swift A-Frames for your 9.3. I just bought a bulk supply of them in the 285g. version. If Toby's are gone, I could let 100 go for $200 shipped you are interested.
Thanks,
Gary

Booked with Harold Grinde - Gana River - they sure kill some good ones - who'd you get set up with?
