Title: Can SBE II safety be easily reversed for a LEFTY?
Post by: Clay on February 09, 2011, 09:06:53 PM
Guys, just picked up my new SBE II.  I bought a right handed model even though I'm a lefty as that's what I've been shooting all my life and I'm most comfortable with them.  My question is how difficult is it to reverse the safety to Left hand?  Is that something I can do myself, or do I need to find a gunsmith to do the work?  Does anyone have any experience in doing that and maybe be able to provide some guidance?

Real easy, I've done a couple. Pull the trigger group out and there's a little pin that you punch out that holds a little spring that hold the safety in. Then, just put the safey in the other side and put it back together.

Yes it is an easy modification just like jwill has described to you, A hunting buddy I know is a lefty and he has changed his safety on his SBEII.
