I have only ever used the safety to lock the bolt down on an empty chamber.

Reported it so let's see if TM remove it.

If you can clearly see that the safety has been removed, then one would assume the correct approach would be to carry this rifle with the action open, or bolt closed on an empty chamber. Both perfectly safe and popular methods, and indeed much safer than relying on a mechanical safety device.
If you must have a safety, then don't bid on this rifle.

Unless you're some form of special firearm safety policeman, just let the guy sell his gun. Otherwise it just comes across as petty......

Ah the legendary Remington 1740; when you have a RH 870, a LH 870, and too much free time

This thread is making me want an Obrez. Pretty impractical but I suppose if there's a bear trying to break into your yurt and it didn't listen when you politely explained "cyka blyat idi na hoy" then a Mosin with a 3" barrel is natural escalation from there.

@tommygun And a quick trip to hospital for wrist surgery after firing it!

My favourite Firearm I processed while doing buy back/hand in duty. Technically not prohibited, as the police told me shotguns with detachable magazines were OK if they were bolt action. Chap still wanted rid of it though.

Quite right, whoever did that to the shotgun should say Sorry.....

surely that would be classified as an illegal pistol ? seeing as it can be fired in its taken down state ?
