Had one that "someone" had glued the pushbutton at the front in the depressed position. The crossbolt safety worked just like a regular crossbolt after that. Dont know how well it would hold up on a hard kicker (though you could probably find an epoxy of some sort if you were so inclined) held up that way for several years and a few thousand rounds. Mostly 22 cal centerfires to 270. Was still going fine when the rifle walked off.
