hi lads

 

i have just picked the above gun up for my wee man and wanted to ask if you can fit a auto,safety lever to it,i have looked at the diagram on line but can't find any info that explains it can or can not be done.

 

it shoots and works well and in very nice condition,but i would like it to have a auto safety for his benefit.

 

thanks for your help

Please don't take this the wrong way, but are you sure it's for 'his benefit' , or yours?

I only ask because personally I'd rather have manual safeties on my ou's, and that's what they all have. Safeties do not make guns 'safe', it is safe gun handling which does that, and especially muzzle awareness.

 

This post isn't intended to offend seriously, it's just that I cringe a little when people place reliance on a safety.

MGR Guns at Woodhall Spa seem to deal in a goodly number of 101`s .They may be able to help.

thank you all so much.

 

re the safety it can't be done without reworking the action and tang (this was confirmed by the chap at MGR guns)

 

as for the responsibility, I was only thinking of making it a tad safer than it may be with the person in question, his older brother uses the same gun but has a huglu 20 bore that has the auto safety so to limit the possibility of an error when using different guns etc.

 

thank you all so much
