saftey lever for a M77 mkII
Does any one make a better saftey lever for the M77 mkII ?
The one that comes on the gun is to small and, is main reason that I don't like them.
Thanks


You can't kill them setting on the couch.

i agree... a very shallow cutout on the stock helps alot... that's a pretty complex part, when you take it out of the action, and the short answer is to have it built up from a tig weld and reshaped

Don,
ed makes good products, though in this case that's about a $300 solution for a $35 welding job, as ed's safetys replace the ruger shroud, but the ruger safety AINT on the shroud.

Can you describe the safety lever cutout? How deep under the lever and is it beveled?

Thanks
