Picked one in Nice shape.Only problem is will not go to the safety position Should work like a K98. Any ideas what the problem is?

Not without photos.

Basically looks like a K98 . Tab on rear of the bolt should flip up to put on safety Right ? 72 year old guy needs help getting pictures off laptop LOL where's my Grandson

If you have the pics on your laptop it is pretty easy to post them. Scroll down from where you type a post, and click the attachments button, then click "add files", find the picture you want to post and click the open button you will see. This will put it into your thread.

I am thinking something is worn out or dirty and sticking on your safety. Pics will help us perhaps diagnose the issue.

I have a BRNO #1 that fires when the safety is disengaged. I just don't chamber a round until I am ready to fire.

Thanks the info on posting I'll clean up bolt and see if that works

Are you trying the safety when the rifles cocked? Some bolts won't go to safe unless cocked.

LOL Thanks Sieelbuttplaie that was my problem
