I have an issue with an Ishapore SMLE in .303. The safety lever is moving under recoil and locking the bolt, requiring the lever to be manually pushed back forward after every shot to unlock the bolt so the spent round can be adjusted. There is little to no tension retaining it in the forward position.
Anyone know if that tension can be increased, or if the lever can simply be removed altogether and the rifle used without it?
