Safety on AX ELR

[ReturnFire]

I just took my AX50 ELR to the range to zero and the three position safety isn’t functioning. It’s stuck in the FIRE position and I can’t move it.

 

[Jeff Gahler]

Sure it’s not just stiff? When I traded my ax to flips he thought the safety was broken as I never ever used the safety Was just stiff

 

[ReturnFire]

It moves a little towards the back but it won’t even make it to the second position. I definitely don’t want to push too hard

 

[ReturnFire]

I haven’t been able to get the bolt to separate either

 

[CoryT]

Silly question, but is it cocked? Safety will not engage unless cocked.

 

[ReturnFire]

Not silly. Yes I’ve tried it both ways

 

[CoryT]

OK, only works cocked, it is in fact pretty stiff.

 

[ReturnFire]

How fragile is this thing? Can I put a little force to it?

 

[CoryT]

Well, I've never seen one broken, and we've had a LOT of AI's here.

 

[ReturnFire]

This is my first AI so I’m trying not to break it

 

[ReturnFire]

Ok I quit being a bitch and it broke loose. Thanks for the encouragement fellas

Has anyone had any issue with very heavy bolt lift shooting factory 750 A Max?

I also shot some ball ammo and the bolt wouldn’t eject any of them
