Model 98 mauser safety

[punkkinen]

Wondering if anyone out there can help me. I just purchase a frankonia mauser mod 98 and will be looking to put a scope on it soon. I know with my Swedish mauser the original safety can be a real pain with the scope as well as having to install it very high. So what I'm looking for is a swing type safety similar to that of the winchester mod 70 I believe. Does anyone here know of a good Canadian source to buy them and can I put it on myself or will it require a gunsmith? Thanks in advance

Go to TradeEx site (up top). They offer a 98 Mauser bolt sleeve retrofitted with a M70 style safety for $80.
