I do not like the work they did to the cocking piece. When using the crook of one's elbow to help work the safety, it really isn't that hard to use. Also it looks harder to cock the cocking piece which can be useful in some situations, and the job they did essentially removes the ability to let down the striker with the thumb. They should have just cut the whole thing off.
I like Wyo's rifle much better! |

It's very common to "bob" the cocking pieces, usually in conjunction with a Timney trigger which provides the side safety. I've been asked on numerous occasions to offer them modified but won't because of potential liability. Reduces weight which reduces lock time. Combined with a heavier firing pin spring from Wolff makes a real difference.

Make a new, modified safety. What is the difference between that and installing a Timmney trigger, or installing a used part? Either way you will get sued if there is a problem.

IMO it's an unusable and therefore unsafe modification IF it is still to serve it's original function as a safety.
It's impossible to grip that nub on the cocking piece and pull back and turn it with over 20 lbs. of resistance reliably (if at all) ...which makes it a rifle without a "usable" safety. No thanks... I've got enough liability on the table already, I don't need to go looking for trouble over a $20 part.

So make a new safety of your own design. Put a ring on it like those girly Swiss rifles.

^^^ Lol...
Oh, they're out there...Brass Stacker and countless other iterations. Hideous! I have thought about possibly turning it down like the picture, and welding on a "swing" type short lever instead of those unsightly rings, sorta like a Mauser but it could be vertical and still work with a scope because it would be lower. Maybe if I ever have the time.
