Guys
Will the rocker safety fit/work properly on a thumb safety model Dan, by just changing out the complete safety piece?
Since playing bumper tag with a PU, I can't yet get the right hand to work properly etc.
I'll have to dig out my old Dan from the early 60's, as the G-kid wants to shoot it.
He is hooked on AR's and can go thru pellets.
Tia,
Don

I think there are a couple issues:
1) Physically you could swap a rocker endcap/safety assembly, but early thumbers had 2 screws holding the cap, later guns had a through pin - so "it depends". [edit: if yours is an early 60's gun, it should have the pinned end cap]
2) Your thumber stock won't have the relief cutouts for the rocker to sit in; you could swap out the stock also, or carve up the original (many folks would severely condemn the idea of messing up an original early stock!).

They might sound like a lot of work till you realize you only need 3-4 pumps for plinking.

If he knows not to put his finger near the trigger till he's ready to fire, why not just fix the thumb blade in the down position with a piece of a toothpick ?
It's the most common way to bypass that safety and doesn't harm the gun in any way as far as I know.

That will work & is easy to change back to original if you decide to sell the rifle.

..zactly.. I have mine pinned down with a wedge of a zip tie. Just held it down, wedged it in and snipped it off. I can remove it if I want to.
