I know it as fact. I've done it.
It's simply a matter of breaking the match to the correct length and knowing where to put it in the working parts (hint, the safety sear is involved). Can also be done with a piece of string with an end hanging out of the weapon (for ripping out when somebody comes along wanting to know who the hell has been screwing with their rifle), or simply removing the safety selector entirely (very, very easily done) but that completely removes any and all safeties (besides unloading and ensuring there's nothing chambered).
