Be sure to replace the firing pin and firing pin spring when you get it. There is no firing pin safety built in, and can be prone to AD if dropped on the muzzle. A light pin and heavy spring will remedy this. There was a member here who had exactly that happen:

I'm not a fan of added complexity in a firearm, so the heavier spring and lighter firing pin is a better solution than what you will find with a mechanical firing pin safety solution, IMO. There have also been threads on this forum about the safety mechanism on their series 80-type guns causing loss of functionality, one from a rear sight getting knocked off the slide.
