2. Safety lever in safe mode - insert magazine and release slide: Hammer will fall but safety lever moves to near off position instead of maintaining safe mode.
Any ideas???

Without seeing your gun and parts it is difficult to say, but early model 39 safeties did not use a detent plunger and spring on the left side at about the 4:00 position, while later units did.
That could allow the safety lever to move.
Also, a brand new sear release lever should make it almost impossible to install the slide.
If you are near St. Louis, MO., I would be glad to help.
