Can't find a safety, but that is not unusual on some Continental guns. I have only ever come across one of these before in an English gun shop. This one was in first class order and reasonably priced so I got tempted. I will probably use it for squirrels and rabbits. Can't say that I needed it but just thought it a fun thing to play around with. If someone has more info or a manual for the gun I would be most interested to learn more. Also if more choke tubes are available. Lagopus.....
