I contacted Mr. Penrod about a recessed safety for a #1. I though you all might enjoy the photo he provided:  Jason "You're not hard-core, unless you live hard-core." _______________________ Hunting in Africa is an adventure. The number of variables involved preclude the possibility of a perfect hunt. Some problems will arise. How you decide to handle them will determine how much you enjoy your hunt. Just tell yourself, "it's all part of the adventure." Remember, if Robert Ruark had gotten upset every time problems with Harry Selby's flat bed truck delayed the safari, Horn of the Hunter would have read like an indictment of Selby. But Ruark rolled with the punches, poured some gin, and enjoyed the adventure. -Jason Brown | ||

Mark has quite a list of mods he makes to the No. 1, many of which improve function but are not obvious to a casual observer. | |||

I asked about the standard package he does to a No.1. He said he charges $850 to install a the recessed safety, trigger(can be adjusted to 1.5 pounds, hinge pin and surface grind the sides of the action. All these parts are ones he manufactures himself. He send this photo an mentioned that quite a bit if extra work had been done. I would tend to believe he did all the metal work himself. He is known to be an outstanding metalsmith.
