Type 1 safeties

**Hercules Powder** · 11-24-2011 05:10 PM

I've been looking in the books, archives and CC newsletters that I have, but can not find the answer.

Is there any noticeable differences in type 1 safeties?

If so, anyone have pictures they would be willing to share?

TIA
John

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles.

Seen Winchester checkered safeties with a small bevel around the ends, others don't have it.

H-P,
I have what I think is a WRA Type 1 safety here.
Just trying to remember how to post pictures again.
I'll get a few up before I'm done.

Cheers,

WONDERFUL to see you back again Charlie. You've been very conspicuous in your absence.

I think you will find that Inland and Rock-Ola type 1 safeties have a pronounced bevel on both ends while Winchesters have a slight chamfer on both ends.

Ditto to what the others have said Charlie. Thanks for the phone call and message. Welcome back buddy!
