Red plastic saftey cover
The red plastic saftey cover wants to keep coming off. Anyone got any suggestion on what glue to use to keep it in place ?

You don’t need safety that is not safe (stock AF safeties)
Oh, how many accidental discharges occur with firearms that have safeties? Just look at stats. Yeah, a whole bunch. So, go figure.
Vlady with the breech cocked and open the gun will still fire if you pull the trigger. The hammer will slam the breech shut against the top hat. Also if you dropped the gun the hammer might release. It is better to uncock the gun by holding the breech open, pull the trigger, slowly let the breech slide against the top hat
Once you cocked it, the breech will go back and fourth freely. Just load the pellet and leave the breech open if you wish. No worries there. I wouldn’t leave it cocked for a long time though.

I have a question… If I load a pellet quickly as backup but do not need to shoot it is it all-right to un-cock the gun and leave it in the breech? If it is there for a long time will anything bad happen?
Exactly. The best safety is in you head. Otherwise, find another hobby.
Another way is just leaving the breach open untill you are ready to fire.
Some guns have 2 – 3 safeties. Now, that is for imbeciles for sure…
That is why the best safety is in between the ears. And if the gun is loaded the next best thing is to UNCOCK your gun. The AF guns are so easy to cock and uncock why would anyone leave their gun loaded with the safety on if not shooting?
On my Talon SS I have the safety but never use it as a safety. I always uncock the gun if not on target.
On some guns disengaging the safety would actually FIRE the rifle, and you think that is safe? If you are relying on the safety to not get shot, YOU are doing something wrong.
No offense to anyone, but I think not having a safety system on a gun – EVEN A HIGH-POWERED AIR RIFLE – is idiotic and foolish. No matter how careful or safe the shooter tries to be, there can always be that moment that will cause accidental discharge of a projectile, may it be a slight nudge from something or someone, a muscle twitch, unintentional dropping or bumping of the rifle, what have you. Personally, I don’t even want to be near a person even if he were to tell me that he’s professional enough that he doesn’t do this and that to make sure that his safety-less rifle is not accidentally shot. I don’t care who that person is. I’d just think he’s an idiot. Accidents can always happen, even when it is least expected; the safety system is implemented on our guns simply because of this!
I agree with riff, immediately after removing mine for the redwood stock I noticed how much I DO depend on it and I actually missed it, so needless to say I slapped it back in.
just as sharp said will fix ya up good
It does no good?
Might keep your thumb from being perforated one day, other than that I agree.
Ive gotten so used to the safety I forget its there.
throw it away and forget about it. even better – remove the safety, it does no good anyway.
a drop of super glue or red locktite and let it sit overnight.
A little epoxy should do the trick.
