Anyone know if there is an aftermarket kit to alter a Ruger Mark II safety to something more like a model 70? Or a shroud to replace the existing shroud and go to a tang safety?

Thanks
Frank

Frank,
the mkII safety is actually in the action, rather than the botl body... it rotates but doesn't come back with the bolt (not on the shroud).

I think a welder could make you a 1/8 to 3/16 longer tack on the side,then you have it blued, and it would be great...

i've heard of "convert to tang" on these, but never seen one

Thanks Jeffe. I have a line on a mk II in .257 ultra lite but I cannot handle the tiny flag for the safety.

Someone like Jim Wisner should tool up and amke a new improved after market saftey lever for the Mark 11's I reckon he would do all right.................remove the current one and drop in the wisner unit with a wider lever.

Exactly what I am looking for.
I could use the Boyd side lever instead but it creates a very large gap that isn't exactly in tune with the sweet lines of these extra lite rifles.
