Greetings to all! I just bought a Norinco CQA 5.56 mm rifle from Frontier Firearms. Got it today, and am having a problem, I'm wondering if anyone can assist?
When I unboxed the rifle, I inventoried the parts, and checked the action. All seemed fine, and when I operated the selector lever, it moved from ``Semi`` to ``Safe`no problem, however, upon trying it again, the selector switch refuses to move to the ``safe`` position....
It will move about halfway between Semi and safe, but no farther....
I`ve seperated the halves, and there is nothing obvious obstructing the movement of the selector lever, and I`m very afraid of forcing it, in fear that it`ll break.
I`ve attempted to contact Frontier firearms many times, and their telephone just rings busy, and they don`t seem keen to answer E-mails up to now.
Has anyone encountered this problem, or does anyone have anything positive to suggest to fix this.
Many thanks and Regards-Jamiew

Solved-Thanks LukeS and frontier firearms--yes-Oddly-the weapon has to be cocked first (Thus theoretically chambering a round) before you can move it to "safe". a bit weird to me, but bit works. thanks to all!

Were you not enlighted by the well translated user manual (with an alien ship on the cover)?
