[QUOTE="Wado, post: 1175130, member: 42926"] I bet it's a drop in safety, I once bought them three to a bag for about ten dollars from a supplier I found in Shotgun News. They are left handed and require grinding a lead angle on the cocking piece for them to work. If you grind too much the safety when applied will keep the firearm from firing but if you pull the trigger and then drop the safety it could fire. Not enough and you can't get full engagement, might ought to let a smith take a look at it. They also rattle because they don't have a hole in the shank for a nylon tab like a Buehler safety does. I have one on my .308 that clears the scope easily and I did a little grinding on the lever so it's shorter. They were a cast piece but seem to work fine. [/QUOTE]
