Shotgun Safety Question

valkyrie.rider · November 13, 2002, 09:02 PM

I want a Winchester Super X2, but am told they dont make it in left hand version. I have no problem with right side eject, but need a left hand safety. Is it possible to move the safety to the left side? Thanks

I don't know if it can be turned around or not. I haven't seen a SuperX 2 in a while and I can't find an exploded view that gives a good enough look at the parts involved to say. However it might be done similar to a Remington. I'd recommend you take it to your local smith and see what he thinks. If you don't have anyone near you or can't find out for sure another way, you can send the trigger unit to me and I'd be happy to take a look at it. George

George: Thanks for the reply. Actually, I needed an answer to the safety question before I buy. The owners manual is available on line and it says the safety is reversable for left handed shooters. I think I will be getting one.

BTW, I used to live near you in Crestview Hills, right next door to Dixie High school. Small world!
