[QUOTE="ralfus, post: 327586, member: 20413"] There were a few safeties that may or may not work on your Dad's rifle. Was it blocky with the words "ready" and "safe" on opposing sides? That would be the original style. If your rifle was sporterized and maybe scoped like many were before they were collectible then you may have a "low scope" safety. There were a few variations and are not interchangeable. Subtle differences in how they mount and remain attached. I have a military version if that is what you need. Here are some leads on other styles. You may just want to take the rifle to a local smith, if you have one. If he's an oldtimer he probably has a small box of various leftover safeties that he find one to fit and [U]makes sure it works right.[/U] [url=http://www.gunbroker.com/auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=142242123]Springfield 1903 / 1903A3 Low Scope Safety : Other at GunBroker.com[/url] [url=http://www.greenesgunshop.com/Departments/Dayton-Traister.aspx]Dayton Traister Inc. - Greene's Gunshop[/url] [/QUOTE]
