Button, Button - Rossi 92 Lawyer/Bolt Safety Turfed !

[Rangr44]

I had an hour to kill, after supper this evening, and was sorting through my scrounge box - where I've still got "stuff" from as long ago as the late 60's.

I had decided to get rid of the bolt top lawyer safety on my Rossi .357 - wings and all - so there was a method to my madness.

In the box, I ran across a couple of Remington 1100 issue crossbolt safety buttons, that I had kept after converting some fellas guns to Giant Head or left-hand safeties.



Sooooo, I chucked the end of one into my hand drill.



Then, I started up the drill, and held the safety against a file for awhile



Now that it's turned down, I'll see if it fits a lawyer hole



I then filed a notch for a retaining pin





And cut off the part that won't stuff into the lawyer hole



Almost "off"





HOUSTON - WE HAVE SEPARATION ! !



File down the teat, off the cut & polish it smooth



NOW it fits in the lawyer hole, much better !   





OK, Time to go watch the RedSox lose again !

I had an over-sized safety on my 1100M once.  On more than one occasion, I noticed the shotgun was accidentally in the fire position.  I re-installed the factory safety.  Not a fan of the big safety buttons.
