Is basically a fully automatic Mosin (because 7,62x54). Which is awesome.[/QUOTE]

Kinda an oddball question, but does any form of semi-auto/full-auto rifle exist which has a Mauser type safety lever?

Without a doubt, one of the best safety actions in existence. It's so easy to understand and work. You can legit hand anyone a Mauser rifle with these lever safeties, and they'll figure out how to operate it within seconds.
Also have some trench art type shtuff.

Call me a retard but I'm not really sure what I'm looking at.
It's a safety.
When it faces left, the entire firing pin is disabled, facing up the trigger is disabled, and facing right everything is enabled.
Forgive me, i don't deal with guns, but how is that better than safe/shoot?
v safe, p safe, not safe
what's not to like

The Mauser safety requires a complicated bolt though, while it's really safe there's other designs that were easier to make and just as easy to use
I am pretty sure the g43 have that type of safty.
Hmm, I'll have to give it a look. Honestly, right now I'm doing research into gun safeties, as the Weapons Guild is designing an open source semi-auto rifle called the [URL="http://www.weaponsguild.com/forum/index.php?topic=60756.0"]"Volksjagergewehr"[/URL] which effectively will be a modular weapon platform which can have it's uppers and such switched around sorta like the Homefront 2 gun, and I'd like to somehow contribute to the design.
So how is safe in two ways better than just safe in one?
[QUOTE=Tinter;50663469]So how is safe in two ways better than just safe in one?[/QUOTE]
Well comparing to the M16 here, the first safety (left) on the Mauser competely disables the firing pin. Meaning the weapon will not fire. The M16 cannot do this, the closest you can get is dry firing on Semi and leaving it since you cannot switch from Semi to Safe without having pulled the action. The second (center) disables the trigger, like Safe on the M16 it means you cannot pull the trigger. However if the weapon is loaded you can, at least with the M16, slam the buttstock against the ground or drop it in the right way and it'll fire the weapon.

Why isn't this a thing in the United States??? Why have I not seen red lacquer on AR-15 stocks? Why haven't I seen black lacquer with gold inlay for 1911 Handgrips.
I mean come the fuck on gun builders, if you want to spice up your guns look, this is the shit to do it with!

Doesn't Lacquer get ruined by water - gets sort of a white layer over it.
Maybe if you lacquered and then put some protective coating on it or perhaps just have lacquer effect.

Because unlike the Japanese, we actually use our guns. Pretty paintjobs don't last long when you use a gun. Whether it's carrying it daily or taking it on a hunt the finish is going to get damaged.
It also looks gaudy as hell.

ak safety lever is easier imo because you can't even chamber a round until it's on auto or semi, but i think even a child can figure out any firearm's safety method within minutes if not seconds

It's great when you have the time to work it out. Not so great when your ass is on the line. The fact that you can cycle rounds without the firing pin functioning is a deal breaker. Got a teenager killed by a bear a couple years ago because it was a mauser action.

A simple safety is the best safety like the AK or AR15. Or you can go old school and use your brain to tell your finger to stay out of the trigger guard and use a gun without a safety switch such as the old lever action rifles.
Christ, never thought about that. That's a pretty scary thing to think about with the bears and the like. I also did look up some videos of comparison animations of how each system works, and yeah it seems like out of all of them, the AR15 and AK47 have some of the most down to earth systems in terms of construction.
Oh yeah and in more light hearted news:

Fuck California's shit, we already found a way around it!
Had a little go with an [URL="https://forsvaret.no/media/PubImages/HK-417-191114.jpg"]H&K 417[/URL] the other day, first experience with a modern, full auto firearm.
The instructor gave me a concerned look when I clicked in the mag and gave it a good-measure twat, turns out they're really easy to load and don't need that.
how and why did you get the opportunity to use an HK417 in the UK
Someone has finally gone and done it.

how bout some nice ribs?
If you were to make a single-barrel out of a double-barrel O/U, why would you decide to go with the lower barrel? Only reason I can think of is slightly more in-line recoil, but that hardly matters due to it being single-shot, and it gives the downside of being quite a fair bit further off your sight-axis.
