Mauser Safety Issue

[Rowdy1]

I am relatively new to collecting milsurp guns and have a K-98 and a Persian Mauser. Can't budge the safety. If I drown in CLP I can get it to move to the other two positions. The issue gets worse after I strip and clean. What do I need to do to remedy this problem. Both have all parts matching.

I recommend you seek out a gunsmith: if oiling and cleaning do not improve the function, you will likely need some material removed to make them fit properly, and that job should be done by a professional.
