The strikers (firing pins) function more
closely to the optimum right angle with the breech face (the lower striker
retracts completely on opening, this eliminating primer drag).
The renowned lock efficiency, combined with
the long barrel drop of the Over & Under, facilitates single handed
easy opening, with absolutely no creep back. Reloading is faster.
The creation of a single stable unit
incorporating the safety work and both locks, with either double or single
trigger mechanism, must be considered a distinct advantage over the side
lock which has locks and trigger mechanism separated by the wood of the
stock.
Strength has been maximised by thicker action
walls, supporting joint pins and replaceable buttresses. We are confident
that not only is this the most efficient mechanical design of Over &
Under but also the most elegant. The unobstructed view which the shooter
has of the top barrel and rib is enhanced by the slender curving fences.
