A: Charles since the rear sight is integrated into the top rail I don't see any screws for removal. I would verify this with Mossberg at Tel: (203) 230-5300 | 8:00am-4:30pm Eastern or by email contact : http://www.mossberg.com/contact-us/ ---- (https://www.huntinggearguy.com/shotgun-reviews/mossberg-maverick-hs12-review/)

A: I suspect that it is removable but I cant find it in writing so I suggest calling Mossberg and verifying Customer service: +1 8003633555

A: yes firing the 1st barrel sets the action to fire the 2nd barrel and yes you can shoot it aiming straight down there is nothing to stop a person from shooting themselves in the foot LOL

A: Cody, yes, the barrel selector moves automatically for the 2nd barrel. Excellent video demo here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2hJ9sDPO40

A: Cody, it is based on the "Mechanical trigger". This is demonstrated here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2hJ9sDPO40

A: Mechanical Cody .. and no, not something you can unintentionally bump fire.

A: mechanical trigger

A: Domenico, this shotgun has a Top Tang Safety and when disengaged will not have any firing restrictions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6X-x2O4QqU

A: Domenico - There is nothing that stops one from firing this shotgun straight up, straight down, or in any direction whatsoever. I am not aware of the feature you mention.

A: you can place the shotgun straight down or straight up and it will fire there is no safety that keeps you form shooting you toe off

A: Been having one for about 3 years. There absolutely is a safety that disengages the trigger at around 45 deg downward.

A: I have this shotgun bought it right here with Bud's. YES IT HAS A EXTRA SAFETY THAT WILL PREVENT YOU FROM FIRRING EVEN IF THE TANG SAFETY IS OFF! It can be removed but will void your warranty.
