Tom, you say the safety does not work. Do you mean you can't move the safety at all to get the gun to fire, or do you mean that the gun will fire without moving the safety?

If you can pull the triggers I would make sure the gun is cocked, remove the forend and barrels. With those removed take a piece of soft wood and place it over the breach face holding it securely against the breach face. Pull both triggers and see if there are firing pin dents in the wood. If there are, then the hammer/firing pin assembly is working.

Drive another 2hrs east from Somerset to Harrisburg and I'd be happy to look at it.
