Are there any issues with this style of safety? I have not seen it before (but am not a big Mauser guy).

It would appear to be a simple aftermarket 2 stage trigger for a right handed shooter. The retaining pin on yours appears to be threaded , which is advantageous.
 
That is a Chapman 2-posotion safety. I bought one of the kits on ebay. It could also be adapted for my Springfield. I guess they work okay but it required more sophisticated machinery to modify the shroud than was available to me so I sold it and bought a 3-position Model 70 style safety with bolt shroud from Parkwest. Wisner also sells basically the same kit as Chapman.

Someone did a nice job fitting it to that gun.

Here's the target for the NorthForks - 25yds off a bag, iron sights. Hunting leopards over dogs the range won't be more than that.

Flew in an airshow in Smyrna years ago, beautiful country.

Best regards,
