I have a Remington model 700 CDL that the safety is really hard to put it on safety. When it is on safety it easily slides onto the fire position. Also when the bolt handle is lifted or the bolt is removed from the receiver the safety moves freely on and off safety. Only when the bolt handle is down is the safety hard to slide onto safe. Any info is always appreciated.

  I haven't work on one for long time. I think the safety locks the bolt by engaging a notch in the bolt body. Might be a burr on the lever arm or it could be bent a little out of alignment and hitting the bolt body instead of passing into the notch.

  part 45.
  
  Could be the ball detent and its notch.

  338magnut,
  
  Respectfully, I do not advocate trigger work being handled by unsuspecting individuals. Charlie wants to be helpful by answering your query but the reality is that trigger work needs to be handled by those professionals who are capable of doing the work safely. Small errors can create awful results.
  
  Please take your trigger to a gunsmith to get this resolved without potentially causing more trouble. He or she will look at the entire system to determine where the problem is and correct it safely.
  
  Best.
