I should mention that this safety depends on the parts being properly fitted. In the actual design, a cam on the top of the lever holds the firing pin back during this transition between when the locking blocks are engaged sufficiently in the bolt to lock the action and when the hammer is below the bolt and can’t strike the firing pin.
