Does help with taking the stock on and off...which does make it more compact for traveling...but also the safety is a full 180degree throw. Really not had to flick the safety OFF, but putting the safety ON is a pain. Be nice to be able to flick it from on to off and off to on without having the fumble for the lever.
#1. Check to see where the safety actually works. Most will be off safe by about 90degrees of travel.
#2. Will dismount the safety and file the safety a bit flatter (no harm done, you'll be flicking it on and off from sides, not the top). Being thinner helps in step #4. Can color the safety...some cold blues kind of work, but most paints chip.
#3. Drill the safety for a pin. Placed right, will rest against the trigger guard when the safety is pointing 90 degrees and is on-safe. A little file work on the flats that actually run the safety system might be needed.

#4. File a slot in the inside of the stock inletting just deep enough to let the safety pass through when at that 90degree point.
