I would like one of the other versions, but that safety looks stupid, is not necessary, and ruins the collector value. Sort of like drilling holes in a Mauser for a scope. Kevin in Or.

Umm..I "like" chicken breasts so I guess they are useful ...without 'em we wouldn't have a Chick-fil-A!

Looks like they went thru FTR, and then the exporter or importer added the funky safety inorder to be able to bring them into the US. Some bureaucrat was sitting on his or hers shoulders when they thought up that one. Kevin in Or.

It's a little button immediately behind the button. I got the one from Allan's Armory before I knew about the safety. In spite of that it's a really nice gun. Carl

Yeah, I gotta go with Jeremy on this one... Chicken breasts are pretty tasty! Maybe you meant "Tits (teats) on a Bull?" Bull (albeit a young one): (Kentucky Angus... best cooked over burnt wood, with some A1 on the side...) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- What part of "shall not be infringed" don't you understand?
