nice sporter in 8x50R Lebel with an interesting safety lever. I think to copy this idea for my own old rifle.

very simple: you close the bolt and turn the lever forward. its located between bolt and bolt sleeve and some kind of stop is turning in.
you get an e-mail because of the 6,5x58r igorrock

he says its probably for the 8x50R but he never proof it. because the rifle have no CIP proof its only for sale to collectors or gunmaker. if you wish to buy there is a possibility to help, you have an pm.
