Received beautiful K98, made in 1941, matching numbers on receiver, bolt, stock, etc. Nazi proof marks intact.

But....the safety "tang" snapped off in shipping. The guy who shipped it to me shipped it with the bolt in the rifle.

Have filed a claim with FedEx. How much has this diminished the value of the rifle?

And, how hard is it to replace the safety? Any suggestions?

Here's a pic.
