Looking at my T81s, they are pretty decent rifles with the exception of the ####ty 180-degree safety. I've already modified mine to a 90-degree throw from 'fire' to 'safe', which helps, but it's still not ideal as 'safe' is up and 'fire' is forward. It should be the opposite. It appears it would be easy to manufacture a replacement with AR-style positions for 'safe' and 'fire' (ie pointing forward for safe and up for fire). I'd buy four of them if they were available. Is anyone else interested??
Left side 90-degree safety for T81...?

The safety is why I don’t own two of these rifles already. If it were AR in pattern I’d get the safeties and the rifles.
I hear you. The craptastic safety is my only issue with these rifles.
What I have in mind would work with the mount for the Kobra, but not the one for the picatinny mount. That one would still require a right-hand safety, but that could also be designed to work as an AR-style selector.
Great idea... a right-hand 90-degree selector (with safe forward and fire upward) drilled and tapped on the left side for a left-side lever (like the AR ambi selectors) would be ideal. That way the left-side lever could be removed if one wanted to mount the plate for the pic rail.
TNA, any chance of this??
