easy way to reverse the safety on a Win 1300 for lefties?

[agony]

Anyone know how to reverse the button safety on a Winchester 1300 so it can be de-activated properly for a left-handed person? I have a tactical shotgun class coming up, and sadly never took into consideration the right-handed safety on my personal 1300.


I also have an 870 clone. Is there a way to switch the safety on an 870?

Assuming it's a true clone of the 870, please see this thread:

Thanks wdlsguy!
Anyone else have any info, esp. on the Winchester?

Well, I figured it out.

Winchester made a reversible safety button for the 1300/1200/12 etc.

It's a virtual drop in part. Very simple. Now my two 1300's are ready to rock'n'roll. I got the part from Brownells, for ~7 bucks a piece.

Sounds good. Enjoy your class. Do yourself a favor and note what shotguns if any glitch and what do not.

Definitely will report back.
