many times i get asked if there is anything that can be done other than the little add on safety that will work but is just not husky, nor in my opinion safe
does anyone make a shroud that will adopt a winchester style safety, there are many that will work on the mauser, and in fact i have two of them on converted model 98's they are crisp, clean, quiet and safe
sure would like to see something, i have two that are converted and would like to upgrade the safety
If you are referring to the Model 70 type safety, the answer is "Yes". I have one on my Springfield sporter (sporterized 03). Hitch your britches for the price (about $190 - and I only paid $250 for the rifle). I think I got it from Brownell's. Works great once properly installed.

What part of NC you from? I live in Burgaw. Can't get more rural than that unless your feet are wet.

well now, i imediately went to the web page and then called them, because i have seen the mauser shroud safety and have purchased them i have never never seen a shroud safety for a springfield.....Quote:

I have and am making a rifle for each of my grandsons and i have made one and am working on the 2nd, but have another 03 action and another mauser action
this is product number one for eldest grandson, and my deal is that when he does something out of the normal he gets the rifle, so far he does not get it, but is planning on entering army and when and if he graduates from boot camp i will give it to him it is a 1916 GEW, schillen barrel, timney trigger, gentry safety, weaver 3X9 (rebuilt) and custom stock, pachmeyer pad 3006

well i just parted with 325.00 us dollars and sent a cashiers check for a 3 position safety with knurled striker...
comes in white and will more than likely require some fitting
(hell they all do)
but this is a nice rifle, and since it had already been drilled and taped for lyman 48 sights i did not feel bad to drill and tap for a redfield base
this will be oldest sons christmas present for the next three years...........
but i hated the cheap little safety that could/can/looks like crap safety that was on it, and standard safety was a issue with scope
wth its onlymoney and if i dont spend it nancy pelosi will find a way to spend it
here is picture
That will be a good sound safety.
i have been waiting to find one of these, i made a deer rifle years and years ago, and had the cheap looking safety, i works but i hated the damn thing............
this is a present for eldest son
I paid much less for mine, but they are worth the price. They sure pretty up a rifle!

I have four grandsons and i have built two legacy rifles for them, so far only two completed one is a gew98 converted to 3006 timney, glass bedded, shilen barrel, nice custom stock, and rebuilt (real pretty) weaver scope from late fifties but one of the nicest add on was a gentry 3 position safety from brownells,
turned down bolt, (added some length to it) and a matte finish (polished then bead blasted, turns out quite nice)
2nd one quite a bit different, manlicher style with birdseye maple stock, really stands out it is shilen 308 with a typical sight from 30-40s staged ramps for 100 and 200 yards, express, it also has turned down bolt and timney trigger and of course the 3 position gentry...
rifle #3 still in its original form 1939 Kar 98
rifle #4 still in its form as a action only 1.8mil serial number 03 with bolt........
so far none delivered, one grandson is old enough but has done nothing to deserve it....
thats my deal and i am stickin with it, got to stand above and beyond the crowd to get grandpas rifle
agree??
i am sick and tired of instead of making them learn but lower the standards
right or wrong
