I fairly-recently purchased a new Mini-14 5819, and noticed (what is to me) a kind of odd behavior with the safety: if the bolt is open then I can switch the safety on and off at will, however with the bolt closed the safety can be switched off but is prevented from being switched back on (until the bolt is opened again).
I had heard from somewhere that this was by design, however looking again at the manual it just appears strange that one cannot activate the safety without opening the bolt.
Is this the "nature of the beast", or is something amiss? This is my first Mini, so I don't have much to compare it with.
Thanks.
