Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats Three position safety on a Mauser?

As a matter of fact, he did make a nice living at it for over 40 years. He retired late last year, much to my sorrow, although he did tell me that he will still build rifles for people he likes.

And he is rebarreling a rifle for me as I write this.

I've installed several Dakota three position safetys on VZ-24 actions.....and always in conjunction with a Timney trigger. Yes, there have been some difficulties but I have always got them to work and quite nicely.

I've had Jim Kobe install a Wisner two position safety and it too works quite well.....but the two position safety does not allow me to open the action while the rifle is still on safety. This is the only reason to make the converson IMO.....a two position safety can be had from Brownells for a whole lot less than any of the M-70 type safetys.

I have 2 swing safety's on my Mauser builds, a PTG, and a Wisner safety.
I love the PTG because it's a 3 position safety that allows unloading a live round from chamber while still blocking firingpin.
The Wisner and it's shroud was machined by another fella, and I installed it on a Turk Mauser chambered in 6.506, it still needs some smoothing out because it lifts cocking piece back a tad far, which isn't necessary.
The PTG cost 150.00 I believe and the Wisner was around 75.00.....

I have handled post 64 M70s with sticky safeties, but on every pre 64 M70 I have handled the safety was smooth.

Anything one can do to smooth up a post 64 three position safety?

Luckily, you ain't Socrates, just a dumbf&ck.

Steelhead,

You remain on ignore because your rude, profane posts spoil this forum.

Most of us are here to enjoy talking about hunting or our guns. You reduce that enjoyment by your disgusting behavior. You could please try to improve.

Thank you

Then how to you know what I typed you dumbphuck?

Dumb Don, it's time to start pushing daisy's.

How about you charge what you want and let others charge what they want?......probably best if you just tell CF readers your price.

I stand by my comment.
On Brownells,retail price is now $279. Dealer is north of $260.+gotta pay for shipping. Do you really think people reading this thread should be able to find a gunsmith to sell and install one for $175?

Not at current prices.
Again, I stand by my post.

Kinda like the guys that come into my shop. After whining a lot, they say they would do it their self, but don't have the right tools,SURE!! I have a good plumber, electrician, and carpenter. They do great work and I don't whine about.
A Gantry safety?? Not on my rifles!
