Anybody making/fitting one? Or a 2 position?

The bolt sleeve/plug on the mini is the same as full size 98. Jim Wisner makes a 2 position for the 98. His might work. Maybe he'll comment.

I have made 2 positions safety for Mauser 98 from 52 yrs ago. The smaller mini mausers have a little extra work in fitting up a 98 military bolt sleeve. There could be 3 positions made by some gunsmiths.
If you want to use a 98 military part you will need to make an insert for the firing pin is different from a standard military part. Cut the threaded section off to the same length as the mini mauser bolt thread. Make the insert with a flange on one end so the main firing pin spring will butt up. It takes a little time with a mill to cut the shape of the safety.

I have a LH Mini here with a Gentry 3 pos on it.
It may be a conversion, haven't taken it apart yet to see.
I did a conversion to one of my own a few years ago.
Bored out the sleeve made a bushing to fit the mini pin and soldered it in.
Then milled about 1/2 the threads off to match the nose of the Mini sleeve. It worked.
I have another mini going thats going to have a 3 pos on it right now, probably going the conversion route on it.

Thanks all for the input.

J. Anderson. Not sure who's safety that is.

Nice shroud! Not sure about the wisdom of the cocking piece knob

threads in the cocking piece weren't straight and that was my solution
