Marlin model 60 safety reversal

hualosman · 08-27-2012, 06:16 AM

Hi guys,

I just bought a Marlin 60, which has a traditional push button safety. The issue is I shoot left handed, and while I can use a traditional safety (reach under with trigger hand and push while holding up rifle with support hand and shoulder) I would prefer to switch it over to push from left to right. Does anyone know if you can do this with a model 60 and if so, how do I do it? Many thanks!

Yup I took it apart and it looks like the safety is integrated into the trigger assembly and that there's no way to get it out. So now I guess I'm looking to see if anyone makes a replacement assembly with a left hand safety. Pretty sure that's a long shot, but is there anything like that out there?
