Savage moved the safety to the tang on the Model 99 in 1938. This design change was part of the Model 99's evolution to enhance user safety and improve the rifle's overall functionality. The tang safety allowed for easier access and operation, making it more convenient for shooters.
No, at least not on the original production guns (1892 - 1941).
yes they made one, i have and love one, it is a 12ga pump-action with a tang mounted saftey, nice for lefties
Model 220's were made from 1935 to 1965. In 100% condition they can fetch 150.00. In 75% condition they can fetch up to 85.00. They are one of thebest made single shots with a tang safety and latch system similar to high priced shotguns
The term 'tang safety' refers to the safety actuating device (i.e. button, lever, knob, etc., ) being physically located in the tang of the firearm. The tang is that portion of the receiver (or frame) of the gun that extends into the butt stock on the top side of the wrist of the stock. If you shoulder the weapon (right-handed) the thumb of your right hand will be positioned over the tang and in a perfect position to slide the safety button forward or back. Hope that's clear enough!
It is a RUGER Model 77. That is what the M77 means. Typically the M77 is the "older" style with a tang safety, blued with walnut furniture.
Model R-12
Located ontop of the rifle.
On the top of the tang.
It depends on the model of the gun. Most O/U's and SxS guns are push forward to fire and back for safe on the top tang button. It depends on the model of the gun. Most O/U's and SxS guns are push forward to fire and back for safe on the top tang button.

It should be on the lower tang, under the lever. On some of the very early models, it may be on the upper tang.
Usually on the bottom tang, underneath the lever. Some later 39a's have it on the top tang, behind the hammer.
