I'm out of stock and need another 3 position safety. Before I call parkwest, I was checking here to see if anyone has one sitting around. Dakota, Gentry, EAW, Rechnagel, etc.

Anyone have a spare Mauser 3 Position Safety?

Parkwest has them up on eBay blued for $229. In the white twenty dollars less.
I also see two Chapman style conversions shroud and safety for sale at $100. Wisner also sells them. They are two-position with side lever similar to Model 70 style, just no position two. Frankly, I never use position two on my Czech Mauser with Parkwest safety. I'm used to loading and unloading my Springfield with 2-position wing safety. Pretty much forget I have position two on the Mauser and I'm certainly not carrying it that way in the field with bolt unlocked. I look on position two as a "nice feature" but by no means essential. The location of the safety lever on the side is more essential. I wonder how many soldiers went to heaven struggling with disengagement of the military 3-position flag safeties on Mauser and Springfield rifles. Enfield got it right. Forget about position two and put the safety where it's handy.

I was at his shop last week and he has a fresh batch just about finished.
Jim makes the best parts. I was there last week and he has a batch.

Rookhawk,
I think I have a couple of Wisner safeties laying around, plus a Satterlee. I could lend you one, but you'd need to replace it. I'm not wanting to sell any of these.

Jim is a good dude for certain. Figured he was keeping them in stock.

I was at the Wisner shop earlier today.
In fact the safeties that are almost done are 3 position M70 units for the ENFIELD 14/17
He said he is out of the M98 safeties, and the next batch will be finished after the first of the year
He showed me 200 + blocks of steel that will be machined into the M98 units

Wisner usually has some of his two-position 98 Mauser striker safety kits already mounted on flag safety bolt shrouds. I have see him selling them on eBay. As I said, these have a similar lever in same position as Model 70 style, just no position two which I find essentially nonessential anyway.

Guess having the safety on while the chamber is emptied isn't essential if the muzzle control is in place.

Which 3 position safety for Mauser is the best? I have Satterlee on gun which works great but no other experience

Good morning from Montana.
I'm looking at a post from 2018 where you were looking for a lefty Winchester in .375 H&H Magnum. I'm selling mine. My email is [redacted] in the event that you're still searching for a unicorn.
Best,
Kelly Palmer
