You certainly wouldn't want to forget that it's not a safety on the tang or you would have an open action when you needed to take your shot.

It looks like the triggers are mounted facing up???

Just guessing but given that the bar joining the action and barrels is double hinged and from the description the front of the bar comes off with just a push of a cross button, I would guess it will wear quicker than a traditional double and come off face. I would also guess that the top lever pushes a pin down into the joining bar to hold it closed. Even with a tapered pin the locking mechanism can only press down as far as the lever on top contacts the tang so eventually it will wear to a point that it won't close tight. That's all just a guess on my part but it seems logical that it works that way.

I wouldn't own it but it is an interesting piece.
