Doc Crumley Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 What is the easiest procedure to remove the top mounted safety? Fill the hole with?????? Go to http://www.stevesgunz.com/. Nate Kiowa Jones is the goto guy for anything 92, and he sells a plug for that very purpose. DC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Three Foot Johnson Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Open the action, locate the roll pin in the side of the bolt holding the safety in place, tap it out, and remove the safety, spring, and detent ball. Do this in an area where the ball & spring won't fall on the carpet or somesuch because the ball is only .060" diameter and it disappears real fast. Then fashion a plug, file a cross slot for the roll pin, and install it in the hole. Make sure it's not so long as to interfere with the bolt.

CLICKY I would add, drive the pin out from the left side because it's knurled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Coffinmaker Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Easiest ......... contact Nate Kiowa Jones at stevesgunz. Next easiest, you don't have to fashion a plug. You already have one. Pull the safety out of the Breach Block (bolt), cut the bottom off, file the top flat, stick it back in and re-install the pin. Cold blue if you want or just keep a little oil on it after you polish it real nice. I actually prefer calling Nate Coffinmaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smithy Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 I've done three 92's now all the same way. Open the action, locate the roll pin in the side of the bolt holding the safety in place, tap it out, and remove the safety, spring, and detent ball. Do this in an area where the ball & spring won't fall on the carpet or somesuch because the ball is only .060" diameter and it disappears real fast. Then fashion a plug That is an excellent start and a fair way to finish or as I did which was to weld over the top hole and grind/3M the surface flush with the rest of the bolt. Looks like one piece of steel that way. Easy for me since all of mine were stainless steel so a good polish job and I was done. A little more work with a blued model. Smithy.
