I am looking for a mirrored version of the standard push button safety for a Ruger 10/22. I am not having much luck. Any ideas? Thanks

Yep, only they are “out of stock”. I have looked for them on several web stores, EBay, etc. just cannot find them to purchase! Looks to be exactly what I want. I even contacted Ruger to purchase a safety from them since they now sell a left handed 10/22. Their reply was “we don’t sell that as an individual part”.

I am close to trying the file mod on a factory trigger to reverse it.

That's the best option, or he can sell his righty and buy a left hand Ruger 10-22. Wondering how many rifles the op has with this style cross bolt safety? Just out of curiosity...

Been "used to it" for 10 years. Ready to make it correct in my world.

Two of these 10/22s, with several other rifles and shotguns which have been switched to my liking. Only the Ruger doesn't allow one to simply reverse the factory safety, must purchase a different one.

I did a "file mod" on one several years ago. Don't remember it being too dificult and worked fine.

This fella did a youtube video on converting the safety to work lefty. Not the best but gives you a visual on how to do it. He uses a file, I used a Dremel.
