A really excellent example of this mechanism. Takes away the mystique often associated with actions. Something similar to demonstrate a typical lock up would also be welcome
Thanks Diggory, this is a fascinating cutaway and a great video. One of my 12 bores (a Webley & Scott 700) has started doubling - it fires the left barrel at the same time or shortly after the right barrel. The left sear engagement looks ok. Are there any other causes of doubling in a W&S 700 that you know of?
Thank you for the video. I am currently working on restoring a JP Sauer & Sohn double barrel with an Anson-Deeley-Sclob action. I’m needing to source the special tool for replacing the hammer and hammer spring, or a set of plans to make one. Would you happen to know where a chap could find these? Thanks again
If you have a look in my book The British Boxlock Gun and Rifle, it shows you how to dis-assemble and re-assemble a boxlock. The tools you need are basic and can be home made.
That is just a wonderful working cut-away, Diggory. Thank you for sharing.
Amazing to see the inner workings

Best explanation of how it operates on UA-cam. Kudos.
This is great content, keep it up.
That was fantastic to watch , thank you Diggory
We forget what a great action this is
That Sir was Interesting.

I owned a 12 ga Wolf (a shotgun made in Suhl- DDR) a long time ago that had the same problem. I never found out what caused the problem.

@@headbutt67 sir thanks for the reply. I ordered the book you suggested, and will check it out
It would have been interesting to see how operating the top lever automatically resets the safety catch.
