Any vintage Mausers with tang safety?
Does anybody know if any of the best-gun delivers ever made any mausers with tang-safeties? Any pictures?
Thanks,

The Voere had one. I had one at one but it belongs to someone else now. I'll be home around lunch time. If I can find a picture I'll post it.

I don't know when they started, but Rigby built a number with top tang safeties after the war.

Ken Waters had one that Rigby built as a presentation rifle for Warren Page. I think the action started life as a BRNO 21. Double set triggers, butterknife bolt, and top tang safety in 7X61 S&H. He wrote an article about it with photos in Rifle or maybe Handloader magazine in the early '90s. I've seen several other Rigby's with top tang safeties. I narrowly missed one a few years ago built on a 98 with claw mounts.

There are photos of tang safety mausers in "Contemporary American Stockmakers by Ron Toews" including gunmakers Biesen, Brownell, Fisher etc. I don't have the ability to post photos, maybe someone else has this book who can. Sorry

I have seen nice Guild rifles with tang safeties. THey were all from between the wars and were not on the basic rifles. I will dig around and see if I have any pics. I think soemone sells tang safetites-maybe Golmatic?

If you take a look at EGun.de you will see the odd one on that site occasionally

I can't find any on my pics with stocked rifles, but here are the few I have on tang safeties on actions. If that helps.

I have a 1930s G&H on a military action with a tang safety. Never had it out of the stock.

This one appears to have both a tang and wing safety.
