The tang safety was introduced around 2004 when people finally convinced Winchester they didn't like the cross bolt safety that preceded it.

Browning / Winchester has used the rebounding hammer action with the tang safety on all their Winchester marked lever guns since then. This includes the Miroku ( Japanese ) made 1886, 1892, and 1895 rifles.

Here's my Trails End in .45 Colt

Safety doesn't bother me too much.

Jason,

Love the wood on that rifle. Nice.

Nice. The tang safety really just preclues the use of a tang site ... yes? Or does someone offer a solution to that problem as well?

[Old Savage]

I have one in 25-35 Win - Love it. I like the safety - rather have it than not. Last thing I want is a tang sight. Anything else is preferable to me.

Thank's Joe!

Wood to metal fit is lousy though. One of these days I'm going to fix that, ( along with all the other projects I haven't gotten to).

I was told that there was one out there by Lyman for the tang sighted rifles but I have yet to find one.

My Winnie '86 in 45-90 has a tang safety and came with a factory tang sight. I don't recall off hand who made it. Take a look at buffalo arms web site. They should be able to help you.

Now, that is a silly thing to do. In a few months you will be regretting selling it.

I have a couple of the Winchesters with the tang safety and find it does not bother me at all.
I have heard of folks who remove the tang safety to mount a standard tang sight.
I prefer utility to appearance and like a receiver mounted peep better than a tang sight.
Tang sights are just too easy to bump out of alignment without noticeing.

I agree. A tang sight is out of place on a hunting gun. I like tang safeties but I'm sure there must be someone out there that would put one on a good double or O/U.s

I guess it just depends. I have a 25-35 saddle ring carbine with a tang sight that has accounted for a few bushels of prairie dogs and two pronghorns. Tang sight seemed to work just fine. I cant see to shoot hardly at all with open sights anymore, but the tang sight has extended my shooting years by quite a bit.
