[QUOTE="tysue, post: 426678, member: 6525"] Why go to all that bother. Just leave the safety on there, on there. It isn't going to hurt anything, and it and the cocking piece, give the Springfield part of it's personality. I think I'd have gone with a low swing safety, as the trigger safety not as "safe" as the original bolt one. The one on the bolt, swings into a cut in the firing pin, which locks it and makes it entirely fire proof. Probably most trigger safeties are pretty safe too. But when you "lock" the firing pin, so it can't move, you're entirely safe. also, the middle position on the safety will let you remove the bolt, or work it, without it being able to be fired. I think there is also a "winchester model 70" side swing safety made for the Springfield. I got one for a 721 Remington, and it looks nice, and is a safe as the wing type. It locks the firing pin.
