Thumbs up to Clyde Ludwig!

Post by nemhed »

Thanks to Clyde, I decommissioned the cross bolt safeties on two of my Marlins tonight, my brand new 1894c and my 1895. It only took one week to get the safety replacements from Clyde and he doesn't charge extra shipping on multiple orders. I must say, if Marlin had to put an extra safety on their leverguns, at least they made one that is easily gotten rid of, and thanks to Clyde's work the fix looks good. :D

My one and only Marlin 1894 wears his safety delete too.

Quick and easy to get rid of the annoying safety widget.

I liked Clyde's safety replacement too and I have them on my blued guns. I wanted one too for my 1895GS and needed one in stainless. Since nobody makes one in stainless, I made my own.

Actually I think that would look sharp with blued screws & maybe a blued gate. Heck you put a blued sight on it. :wink:

deerwhacker444,

Thanks for the schematic. Now if I had a lathe and some smarts I'd make my own.
I don't like that screw slot on the right side, it makes it look too busy. As much of an improvement over the safety as Clydes is, it's about .020" below the surface of the receiver. So I need a special custom one.

I revived this thread because I didn't get any oohs and aahs for the picture I posted plus it shoved one more OT post off the first page of the General Discussion forum. Yes, I am very childish.
