I watched the youtube video on reassembly of the bolt mentioned in the current M1903A3 Bolt Problem thread. The youtube presenter indicated that the safety lock should detent in each of the 3 positions. My 12/42 M1903 doesn't do this - smooth movement from one extreme to the other. I don't see any dips in the groove if this is the detent mechanism.
