[/qb][/QUOTE]Niedner removed the cocking cams from the Borchardt and made a new breechblock. In order to install the double-set-triggers the safety had to be removed. This is fine on a target rifle but not one used in the field. It’s a little hard to explain but the firing pin is inside of the striker and very light weight, I have no way to measure the lock time but it is very FAST and safe to carry with a loaded chamber.

Michael:
I see how that could be done and now, after your explaination, why. That is a very creative solution and obviously well done. I always tend to think of such rifles as target rifles and have not considered the dificulties involved with having a safety on a DST conversion. This solution would be difficult to improve on.
You have an exceptional rifle with a most interesting history. Thanks!
