US Repeating Arms' M1886 incorporates a tang safety and a rebounding hammer while Browning's M71 has neither (or a completely different form of rebounding trigger). Is it possible, during a caliber conversion, to have either Browning's trigger assembly replace only the rebounding hammer assembly, or to replace Browning's trigger assembly with only USRA's rebounding trigger assembly? I am unconcerned about futzing with the tang safety -- just leave it in FIRE position and forget it.

I would prefer a non-rebounder too. But, I think there are design differences in the 71 and 86 in the tang area that would not permit a direct change. I have several 1895's and an 1886 with the tang. The triggers are ok, and they go bang when I pull it--so I will leave them as is.
