1972 Mauser P-08 grip safety

HisSoldier · 07-10-2011, 01:58 PM

I discovered to my chagrin that these are case hardened, and should you try to bend one it will break. If anyone knows of one for sale I'm in the market. I saw the one in GB but my bid of $65 was rejected. Mine still works, it is just cracked. I may find it easier to mill one from solid, or bend from 1095,shape, and heat treat.
Thanks

I still have several NOS original Mauser Parabellum grip safeties & springs from my buy out of Interarms remaining Mauser parts. TH

Glen,
If you want to repair/restore your cracked grip safety, I could weld and resurface it for you. You could have the bluing retouched and continue to use it, or reserve it for backup and find/buy/use a replacement from T.H.

HS, I'm surprised that I haven't heard from you about this. TH
