how do you put a tang safety on a m-98 mauser. How expensive is it to have it done?


If you own a gun and you are not a member of the NRA and other pro 2nd amendment organizations then YOU are part of the problem.

The "new" Remington 598 has a side mounted push-pull thumb safety instead of the Mauser wing safety. It's located to the right of the bolt shroud and inletted into the stock.

Nope Thanks. I don't know how I typed a "5" I was looking at the picture in the magazine when I typed it and thinking what a fluff piece the the article is.

"Good accuracy" is 1.5 - 3"+ groups. thumbdown

Matt Canjar used to make a tang safety for his excellent triggers. If memory serves me, they could be had either as a separate piece (held in place by the tang or as a weld on option. Don't know if they still offer it or if they are even in business.

I have one of the "seperate piece" Canjar units, and they don't look like they would be that hard to make. Extension, button and Z-link together might take a couple hours to fab up. They could even be made with handtools, if one is so inclined.

For years the German firm Rechnagle advertised one in their cataloque but I havemn't seen a new catalogue for some time. Looked to me like it just popped on the action. No real gunsmithing.

I tried to get Canjar to make a run recently and was willling to commit to relatively large number oof units but they declined. Since the kids took over their production is limited to what sells fast.
