Hello all. This is my first post. I already see many names I recognize from other forums and that is always encouraging. Looking forward to participating. Anyway...I come "hat in hand" asking for advice/opinions.

I am considering this drilling as a restoration project. Almost every drilling I have seen has either a selector or safety on the side of the gun near the wrist. This one appears to have both the safety and the selector on the tang. Has anyone ever seen this configuration before? Is it robust or problematic? I don't want to dive into the drilling world with a lemon. The gun is a Sauer 12ga SxS with a 5.6x52R under barrel.
Thanks in advance.
