I have always like the looks of a Manufrance Ideal with Lunette triggers.This is a photo of what the triggers look like. Probably not easy to use if you have fat fingers but they look so nice in profile. Have found one which will need a restocking because it looks like it was inlet by a nearsighted beaver, with a bad cross-bite. In fact many of the ones (ideas) I come across seem to have in-letting issues so I wonder if it is the design of the top strap more than a skill issue. Lots of gaps and chips around the top tang. Before I go to the trouble of importing one, or finding one over here, I would like to know if this a lost cause. Anyone here have had one restocked or have one needing a restock?

According to the Ideal's disassembly instructions, each Ideal was sold with a tool kit which allowed "unbungled" disassembly. The paddle shaped tool locks the under lug in the open position with the underlever in the depressed position allowing the stock to be removed without chipping the top strap's surrounding wood. Here are two such kits. The striker disc tool and tapered screw drivers fit inside the wooden handle when not in use and are held in the metal slot in the metal cap at the narrow end. Chris Dawe did beautiful stock work on an Ideal of mine. Gil

Several people I've talked to have fabricated tang safeties for Ideals. I'll need to take mine apart to see if I can make one also.

That’s a shame. You don’t hunt hammer guns either? Safeties are overrated. Ideals can be carried just like a hammer gun. Cock it as you’re walking in, decock it whenever you want.
