Title: Rossi 92 safety
Post by: Black River Smith on August 26, 2019, 04:10:22 PM
A lot of people remove the safety flip-lever but has anyone replaced the safety?  If so, was it easy or hard to do?

I want to remove one but concerned that if I do not like the alteration can I return it to original.  Alteration will be my own approach.

Thanks for any comments.

One pin to remove to swap safety in/out.  Very easy to remove or replace.  I got my blanking plug from Steve's.

PLUS ONE too Jeremiah    ;D

Use to replace that pesky safety on the top of the bolt frequently.  There is a ball and spring in there so you will want to be careful taking it apart.  Steve's Gunz has a very nice replacement "cap" for the hole.  Quite reversible.

I guess the word I should have used instead of 'replaced' was 're-installed' the safety.  I thought the second line clarified the question line.  Sorry if not.

I know that people remove them and put plugs/fillers into the hole.  But the main question was 'has anyone gone back and re-installed the original safety lever'?

How easy is that?

As long as you don't have to chase the small parts, it's about a 10 minute job.  Gun looks a whole lot better without that stupid safety thingie on it.

Coffinmaker,

Thanks for posting an answer.  Appreciate that.

I agree with you about the appearance of the bolt without that chunk of metal there.  That is why I am debating with myself to take it out.  Just wanted to know what it was like to re-insert if something 'needed to be done' afterwards.

Yeah but if you don't have to do that it takes all the fun out of it ;D

I have several of those little detent balls in my Shop.  I have no clue where  ::)  I also have no intent to look for them.  Ever.  At All.  Nope.  Not Me!!

Stay Well

They are under the bench with all the dead bugs and mung that accumulates down there if it's anything like mine!
