- You simply:
- Rotate the plug so that the pin recess is 180° from where it should be positioned with the full radius of the plug forward.
- Start the pin and tap it with a hammer to mark a new pin slot position.
- At the marked position, cut a new pin slot with a file. Work the metal a little at a time until the pin will seat with a snug fit.

Loose Steve's Gunz Safety Plug Peep Sight
I measured the safety plugs in my other two R92s and they were .274" in diameter where the plug in the 480 Ruger was .275". I did speak with Steve and he said that is is not that uncommon of an issue. His plugs error on the small side as there is a very easy fix.

Re: Late conversion on the road to Brazil
Conversion on the road to Brazil:
I suggest leaving the rather inconspicuous pigtail safety on the bolt as it makes unloading by cycling the ammo through the gun a safer operation.
I am admittedly a late convert to the merits of the pigtail safety.
