i forgot to put my safety in the middle position when i attempted to take it apart for cleaning. now it will not move back or forth. can i fix this or will i have to take it to a gunsmith. rifle is a post 64 push feed.

Temper this advice with that it is based off a pre-64 that I have.

On mine, if you push the safety forward, or forget to lock it in position before the bolt is disassembled, you get to figure out how to get a grip on the firing pin so you can essentially re-#### it, that you can set the safety lever to the hold position again.

That'd be my direction to take a look at.

You are going to have to figure out how to hold it securely and compress the firing pin spring, so you can lock it back using the safety.
Not broken, just missed a step in the dis assembly process or knocked the lever forward at the wrong time and allowed the firing pin to let down it's spring tension.

grip the assembly by the safety lever end and push downward with the firing pin on a piece of wood about 1/2" and simply flip the lever to the middle position....good to go!
