hot tip of the week safety removal, M17

[Jim K]

Actually to remove the safety, you don't need any tools at all. With the action out of the stock, just rotate the safety until it is straight down, and pull it out. Getting it back in is when using the pliers can be easier than using a thin screwdriver.

Edited to add: If you think you will be working on the same safety again, just drill a cross hole in the end of the plunger and insert a paperclip to hold it while you install the safety.
