"...Does anyone know if the safety is reversible on these rifles? It has a button in the front of the trigger guard, but when pushed to the left with your trigger finger it puts it on safe. Opposite of what you would expect, and possibly more evidence of it being for a lefty?..."
A factory literature/operating instruction brochure dated(?) 1-35 in the lower left corner of the front page for the M24 & pictured page 254/255 'Browning 22cal Rifles by Tyler.
To Set The Safety
.........
'For left-handed shooters a safety can be furnished which works just the opposite of the standard safety.'
There's no specific LH Safety part listed in that 1935 brochure parts list. Just a 'Safety', part#85,,...20cents.
I take it that is the standard RH safety part. A LH version might be spec order/maybe need to send the rifle in for fitting.
That's the only reference I can find about a Left Hand safety being available from Remington for the Mod24.
None of the earlier pictured literature/brochures in that book mention a LH safety at all or spec order availability.
They only state that the safety on the Model24 is RH in operation, using operational wording as: push flat with the guard or all the way to the Right from the LH side to put the gun SAFE,ect.
1935 is IIRC the last year of production for the Mod24,,a very few were assembled from parts in the 3 or 4 years afterwards. But very few,,like maybe 5 or 6.
Nothing in there about the Mod 241 having a LH safety available for it. None of the shown literture mentions one. All state a RH safety in opertion instructions.
Hope this helps..
