MolonLabe416FN 98 Mauser Safety Needed (2, actually)
For a short period of time in the early '50s, FN used a ~60 degree arc safety which had the wing on the left side of the bolt (vs the right side for the Buehler types).
I am having a couple of rifles built and want to use this safety.
I know that most custom builds remove these for a M-70-type 3 position safety so there must be boxes of them somewhere.
Can anyone point me to a source for a couple of these?
Thanks.

GSP7The 1950s FN safetys require a small notch in the sleeve, yours might already have the notch. I saw some safteys very simular that Sportsexpress has. They have alittle "arm" that holds it in place
