Year this issue was addressed inGuns and Ammo IIRC.
Anyway, the fix was easy. Remove the safety and grind a bevel on the leading edge. Give it a good rubdown with cold blue and the problem was said to be solved.
Why I remember this I cannot say, because I've never owned a No. 1!
Regardless, it sounds right, tho as you say, it seems ludicrous that a gun would be made for so long with such a strange, albeit minor, flaw.
9.3 is absolutly correct in his assessment.
I had to do just that on my 6mmBR conversion. It is a silly fault that could have been designed out early on.
