I find myself forgetting plenty of things these days.

I wonder if the safety was removed in your former Darne, it is actually easy to do, and requires no disassembly of the breech block?

A V Darne has a push button for the barrels to be released, as does a P model. But, I can’t say I prefer one version over the other, the barrels take down easily on either.

I would own a Charlin again, if the right gun came along.

Best,
Ted
