The gun is a Browning Gold SL Hunter 12ga. The issue is, when the action closes, the safety will not function. When the action is opened the safety performs normal but once closed it's stuck in whatever position it was in when it closed. I tore the gun down and cleaned it throughly, inspected the trigger mech for any worn parts or missing springs. I didn't see anything but I'm no expert. The gun is probably no more than 5 years old and has seen very little use and definitely not abused. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks ya'll. -Jerry Judge Gerald Payte 4/28/44 - 11/14/09 I miss you Pops. Thank you for all the wonderful hunting and fishing memories.
