[QUOTE="criticalbass, post: 1996853, member: 711"] How do those of you who hunt with Mosin Nagants deal with the safety? I theorize that Russian soldiers never used it. When I was using one for hunting I kept the chamber empty until time to fire. This was a nuisance, but unless you are Conan the Babarian, the safety is impossibly hard to use. I have met a few MN shooters who literally didn't know it was there. . . There is a mod which puts a wire loop on the aft end of the bolt. You can find these on the internet or make them yourself. Bolt parts are a dime a dozen, so the original can be preserved if you want to. This link mentions a Timney trigger with safety that would solve the problem: [url]http://www.weerdworld.com/2011/mosin-nagant-safety/[/url] This link has a good picture. Haven't taken the time to find any for sale [url]http://www.gswagner.com/mosin-nagant/safe/safe.html[/url] I quit using my sniper for hunting because it was so long and clumsy. The white wrapping got a few looks . . . :) [/QUOTE]
