Yes! For liability reasons, I won't go into detail, but you need to read the article, entitled Winchester Tang Safety, at pp. 6-12 of issue #210, Nov 2003, of "Rifle" magazine. This was in the "Spotting Scope" section by Dave Scovill. Go online at
www.riflemagazine.com and you may be able to get a back issue. I had misfires with my new USRAC M1886, but carefully did the modifications and have had none since in both my 1886 and 1895. Good luck.
