GBMotorsports Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 I have a Right handed SBEII however I shoot left handed. Ive heard its possible to reverse the safety, do I need to buy a new safety or can I still use the stock one? Is it something I can do myself? Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

tucker301 Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Stock one. It's a fairly easy thing to do. I've got a picture somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucker301 Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Here you go. Tap out 012A. Watch 007J fly across room. Find 007J. Remove 008A. Reverse 013C. Reinstall detent and spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBMotorsports Posted February 27, 2010 Author Share Posted February 27, 2010 THANKS! Ill give it a try.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucker301 Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 The worst part is finding the right tool to press down the spring and still leave room for the pin to go through. A decent pin punch set is invaluable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBMotorsports Posted February 27, 2010 Author Share Posted February 27, 2010 yes...I just realized this. I normally use the punch that came with my otis cleaning kit. Looks like I am going to have to find my set of punches to get one that will fit. Thanks for your help. This forum is an invaluable resource.

GBMotorsports Posted March 2, 2010 Author Share Posted March 2, 2010 Just reversed it myself. It only took me about 5 minutes. Cant believe the gunsmith wanted to charge me $95 bucks for this. Thanks for all your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NM_Firefighter_EMT Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Does this same picture apply to the Supernova? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucker301 Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Does this same picture apply to the Supernova? No. The Supernova's safety is different. The spring and detent are loaded below the crossbolt. I did a Nova years ago and it was a PAIN to get it all back in there. Yes, the button can be reversed as desired, but it's probably best left up to a gunsmith. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
