I am looking to buy a lever 44 mag and have some questions. I don't want to start the which is best argument (but I will be glad to listen to some). First off I don't like the safety, so I thought I'd have to settle for an older gun. I have a lead on a Winchester Ranger but it seems kinda over priced. Today while surfing I came across a thread somewhere about changing the crossbolt saftey out on a Marlin with a Saddle Ring or just a pin. Is this somthing a gunsmith has to do or could a mechanically inclined lineman preform that task? Also what do we think about Rossi's and is there anyway to do away with the safety? I like their price, but is it worth spending the extra for a Marlin or Winchester? Also what about accuracy and the slow rate of twist in the Marlin? I may think of some more later but I guess that is all for now THANKS
