IAB Sharps firing pin block

[Pizen Switch]

I just picked up an older IAB Sharps in 45-70.  I was wondering if anyone had removed the firing pin block safety that is installed on the breech block.  It seems like a real pain to deal with.

Yes.  I did that also.  I saved the parts so that they could be reinstalled if I sold it.  Not hard to do just watch for the small parts.
