    Don’t hold your breath waiting for Ruger to remove a safety.

    I've had the one on my .45-70 engage itself from my normal movements.
    Then I learned Brownell's sells a filler replacement screw part that does away with it.

    OK People. Enough of this idle chit-chat.

    Ruger is not going to remove the cross bar saftey, That is a Federal thing that went into effect in 1981, if I remember corectly.

    I've had the same problem. So much in fact, I made safety plugs for all my Marlins. If you have the equipment or access it's a pretty good project for a Sunday afternoon.

    There are multiple hunting locations (some US states, for example) that do not allow suppressors/silencers on firearms, at all - which makes the threading an un-necessary option for folks there.
    I don't see your point.
    Just because you have a threaded barrel does not mean you have to screw something on to it.
    I believe there are more states that "allow" hunting with suppressors than ones that don't.

    FWIW I put a rubber O ring around the end of all my crossbolt attorney approved safeties. Easy to install and remove. If you don’t need/want a threaded barrel put the included thread protector on with red Locktite and forgetaboutit.

    I have several .45/70 guns, with castboolits it’s relatively easy to concoct deer loads that recoil like a 20ga and put venison in the freezer. It’s a grand reloaders cartridge.

    Having said all that and defended Ruger in the past for starting with the 1895 SBL because that’s the current darling of the Marlin lineup, I’d like to see an 1894 in .44 with a proper modern .44 barrel, and some .357’s, and some .41’s, and you get the picture.

    I’m betting the next gun we see is either an 1895 in .444 or a 336 in .35 Rem.

    Editing to add;
    After reading Ruger’s description, this “Guide Gun” has a six round mag tube, pistol grip stock and big loop lever, making it more of a GBL than a Guide. Really all the upgrade/wants a lot of folks said the 1895G should have had.
