Safety engages when cocking, but disengages when barrel is closed ?

I have a Winchester 850 break barrel, have NOT taken it apart though I did adjust the Quattro trigger a tad
I noticed that I was not having to release the safety, it is so automatic for me to do it I don't realize I did it sometimes. Today I did notice that it would engage when I cocked the barrel, but when I close the barrel the safety clicks off.
Any ideas as to why this would suddenly happen ?
Thanks all,

Hey Geoffrey_K,
1) So when you cock the gun, does the safety reset, but will not hold trigger (safe) when firing?
2) Or when cocked, the safety doesn't reset (move back) period?
Answers:
1) Back off (unscrew) trigger adjustment screw (closest to muzzle) until safety engages trigger again. Small adjustments are usually enough. You
might
need to back off the other adjacent screw too, but start with the one closest to the muzzle first.
2) Take off stock and adjust/fix auto safety reset on left side of trigger (sliding, two parts connected by spring that sticks into the safety). This is a mechanical fix, which may need to be de-burred/re-bent/ or lubed?
Be careful.................these adjustments can be touchy
. Make them when alone, gun unloaded & no kids around!
Good Luck............

Thank you, I will look at those things.
When I break the barrel the safety engages as it should, however when I flip the barrel back up to be ready to fire, the safety gets bumped to the off position as the barrel swings upwards.
I did make a small change and thought about that when I posted. I just didn't see how it would make a difference and before I went all Wheel Of Fortune on the set screws, I thought I better ask.
I appreciate the advice and hope that takes care of it. While auto safety is annoying to some, I actually like it. Thanks again,
