    Information on Star Model B German Contract pistols- Safety Problem?

    Hello all,

    I recently received a Star Model B from my Grandfather. The piece is Germanicon proofed with a Waffenampt WaAD20, has no import mark, serial number range is 253xxx indicating June 6th, 1944 delivery, has never been refinished and has FPatr08 on the left-hand side of the slide. I have included all the information because I am having what some are calling a problem with my pistol. I can't apply the safety without pulling back on the hammer. Some have said this is only a problem with the Russianicon rebuilds. The pistol has been in my family for a little over 60 years now. Grandpa thought it was the way the pistol was manufactured and just kept the hammer half cocked with the safety on. Is the pistol broken?

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.
