Bought a 1970's era Steyr Model S in 300 H&H. Safety did not function on purchase. Sent it off to Steyr. They had a great gunsmith look it over. He replaced the safety and housing. On inspection he found the firing pin spring had at some point been replaced with 3 springs stuck together. Replaced both firing pin and springs. He also said the model with an extra magazine in the stock was a rare rifle.

The job was done in less than a month and cost about a hundred bucks. Thats great service from Steyr and amazing they stocked vintage parts.

Sounds like a heck of a deal. Great service from them on your classic rifle.

I would be interested in it if you pass. Please send me the info on the gun shop if you do not buy it. I have the needed ammo and brass.
Thanks,
