Excited that I found a really nice 308 Winchester in an Interarms Mannlicher configuration. Nice wood grain and an excellent bolt. Wondering if I can switch out for a 3 pos safety even though there is a gap for the 2 pos factory safety. It has the forward slightly sloping Monte Carlo which should work for one with a longer neck. In the bow floorplate release.

Basically needs to be cleaned and reblued and perhaps a good hand rubbed oil finish and a new recoil pad. A gift for my dad.

People do it all the time. Usually fit a piece in the gap. To me the area that is cut down for the top of the lever to clear the stock is more of an issue.


As usual just my $.02

cool rifle.
Sounds like maybe you need to take some wood off the stock to give the safety some swing room.
I would leave it alone...tj3006

I know what you are talking about; no need to remove the thumb safety. Or remove it and fill the space in with a piece of wood and stain it.
No wood needs to be removed for a 3 position safety. Ram means if there is wood cut DOWN as well as OUT for the thumb/trigger safety, then that might need filled. Should not be an issue though.
