I fear I may have a bit of bad news on the safety. It works like the other older Brno rifles.....forward engages the safety and rotation to the rear is off safety. The rifle in the picture above is off safety. Hommer, there is a tutorial somewhere on posting pictures....it's really not that hard (if I can do it). I would love to see a mannlicher ZG-47 - I assume it is factory? I have never seen a factory ZG in that configuration. I have only seen two factory stock styles and both are half-stock.
