UrodojiSpringfield 1903 Aftermarket Safeties
Are there any aftermarket safeties available to convert a 1903 Springfield to a Model 70 style wing safety? The flag safety makes mounting a scope with proper eye relief for me a bit difficult. If I set the scope where I prefer it, the scope is too far back, and the ring in front is just 1/8" behind the gold ring(Leupold VX-II 1-4X20). Surely someone makes just such a thing.

Jim KobeI do the conversion to side wing safety for $115, blued, ready to go on the Springfields. E mail me.

UrodojiCan you parkerize instead of blue? This gun has been reparked, and is very nicely done. I'd like to match the park that is on it now.
