Thread: Mauser M96 safety mod

I wasn't commenting on the quality of the base. It's a good one

I was just mentioning if I managed to move the scope forward or higher it would work as is.

Hmm... I will have a look. Thanks bro.

I have seen a video on stripping the bolt. They do it with the bolt out. Or do you have to put the safety with the bolt in?
