Safety Repair

captcraig · 05-04-2011, 12:14 AM

I just picked up a 1940 Vet Bring back, one problem the inside safety lever is broken off. If I can find another safety can this be replaced?

Yes, the safety can be removed by driving out a small internal pin. If it is a question of welding back the little link, this is preferable as the outside thumb lever will most likely be numbered to the gun. Replacing the part entirely would make this a mismatched part, unless you are lucky enough to locate a similarly numbered part.

LugerDoc, (Tom Heller) here on the boards can most likely repair this part or possibly have a matching part as replacement.
Good Luck!

I have a few, what number are you looking for ? I might have an unnumbered one as well

Capt. Craig, I do have a lot of exc Mauser safety levers & bars in stock. Just be sure that you get a Mauser one to match your PO8, as any other maker will use a different die numbering set and earlier ones have their serial in a slightly different location. TH

I am not sure what you mean by "inside" safety lever. Do you mean the bottom part of the safety lever that is under the grip?

Thank You to every one for your replies. The Safety is numberd 04. I am also looking for a side plate with the same number.

Yes, I am refering to the lever on the inside under the grip.
