Hi Everyone.

I took my newly purchased National Postal Meter M1icon carbine (arenal rework with flip safety)to the range for the first time today, and I had a couple of minor issues.

First, the flip safety would occasionally drift from "fire" to "safe'. The safety switch would drop down about 30 degrees and freeze the trigger. If I flipped the safety all the way to the safe position and back to the fire position, it would clear. This happened about once every ten round magazine. I suppose if it's going to swap positions it's better to drift to safe rather than to fire.

Secondly, the slide did not catch in the open and locked position after the last round in the mag was fired. The slide doesn't seem to lock in the open position very easily when opened manually.

Your thoughts? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

BTW, what a sweet, fun little firearm! I may have found a rival to my first love, the Garand.

Thanks!
