The other bug is I can not work the action with the safety on unless the firing pin is already cocked.
That is absolutely correct functioning. If the safety is on and the firing pin not cocked, the sear bar cannot move outward to clear the stud on the firing pin when you attempt to work the action. Once the firing pin is cocked, that is not a problem. On the earlier model Lugers before the sear bar was relieved to allow rearward travel of the receiver with the safety on, you could not work the action with or without the firing pin cocked. Relieving the sear bar allows a loaded weapon to be cleared with the safety on.
