Hey all - I just got a M24/47 and was wondering, is a lot of wiggle on the safety in "fire/shoot" position (all the way left) a sign of anything wrong? I ask because in the locked (all the way to the right) and ####/triggered locked (vertical) it is stiff and doesn't wiggle at all, but when it's to the left as I mentioned, it flops up and down. Anyone know what this is?

Mauser safety
One thing to try, WITHOUT a bullet in the chamber is to put the safety on, then pull the trigger, let the safety off. If it is worn too much the cocking piece will move past the trigger engagement and allow the rifle to fire. As I stated WITHOUT a bullet in the chamber. If this happens you need to do some work on the mechanism.

I can think of very few rifles that will not fire if the trigger is pulled and held back and the safety is disengaged.
Do you mean that the safety could be applied, the trigger pulled and then released, and then the safety released? If the rifle then fires, there is wear or misadjustment in the system. Remington paid a large settlement, and redesigned some trigger mechanisms because of this.
A Mauser safety takes control of the cocking piece, and cams in back, off and away from the sear. The cocking piece and sear are locked and held away from the sear. It is unusual for the safety to not disengage the cocking piece entirely from the sear. But it is worth checking.
