Hoping someone can help me out. Found what I believe is a Mauser safety in the parts box. I can't find a pic like it in my searches. I can't get pics to post here, but would like to find it a good home since I don't have any Mausers.
Mauser Military safety? Not worth the shipping cost. I have a box full of them because they aren't used on sporters. Here is a pic of 98 Mauser safeties; ice yours like this?

I saw one reshaped and checkered and extended a bit and it worked and looked nice, but not anything Id be interested in on my guns, a good safety for a mauser is pretty inexpensive from Brownells short of a 3 pos Mod 70 type..

Bobster, I have a different appreciation for the Mauser Safety. I understand they are period correct and the rifle will fire when the safety is released if not set correctly. The world is filled with worthless information; a Mauser shooter called and said he went to the firing range with a safety, he claimed when he got home the safety was missing. He wanted me to convince him that was not possible. It took time to convince him swapping bolt parts between Peruvian Mausers and other Mausers will allow the safety fall out ever time the rifles is stacked with the barrel pointed to the sky.
And then there is that problem of setting the safety after cocking, most Mausers fire with the safety set on the left side. I have found Mausers that required the firing pin to be pulled back before the safety would engage.
