I have never seen a gun that when you push the safety off, you can not manually pull back the safety to on position. You have to push the top lever over to open the barrels before the auto safety pushed the safety back to on position. Anyone else see this on English / Scottish guns?

Generally just a problem of tinkering with the fit of the safety and its actuating mechanism. Can also be caused by trigger return spring problems or just a bad need of lube. One thing right off to try is (unloaded) cock, push the safety off then push forward on the back of both triggers and try to set the safety manually. If this works, it just an actuating movement or spring problem.
