US Rifle of 1917, later utilized on the Remington Model 30 Express. No brush patch, no tumble, ever defeated this safety...yet it's fast and can be quiet. This is the most effective of the mechanical safeties. Not necessarily the best as there is room for considerable subjectivity in this definition. I'm not a huge fan of the model 70 safeties myself

Of all the amazing things that could be discussed about Alaska, it's not surprising that a geeky fkn gun thread has exceeded something like the Iditarod thread!
And a minute part of a fkn hunting rifle at that. Wow!
For some of you gun guys, don't u find this a bit pathetic? The least important tool amplified to the centerpiece of Alaskan discussions?
Come on man! Here some ideas:
Cessna 185 vs piper super cub.
Jet motor vs mud motor
Hunting with horses or dogs
Can-am vs honda vs yamaha atv's
Prop pitch vs load
Mountainview vs hillside
Gas auger vs electric
Village life vs road system
Ted Stevens stories
Outrageous pipeline construction stories
Placer mining vs shaft mine
Chainsaws sawmills and firewood.
Commercial fishing
Trapping
Wildlife encounters
Fish wheel construction
Gill nets

You forgot to include the Alaska Bush Company vs Crazy Horse. To bad Good Time Charlies closed up.
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

I am inclined to nominate the Arisaka bolt safety. It's very difficult to engage/disengage without a scope, and nearly impossible to manipulate with a scope eyepiece mounted over it. Consequently, the shooter is pretty much required to hunt with an empty chamber.
Then, the original Mauser safety mounted on the bolt does block the firing pin in two positions, so it is equally safe with the bolt locked and unlocked to permit loading/unloading withe safety engaged.
