I agree with what Mike says for the most part. But I do believe one of the main reasons Winchester went to a coil main spring in the original 1885 was to allow the takedown feature which was an option with most of the firms other rifles.
As for the new Brownings and Win, I did a drawing for a custom M-78 years ago but fortunately the client went broke before I could get started. At one point I tried to talk myself into a new "low wall" but couldn't even begin to warm up to them. Also, as I mentioned before, disassemble at your own peril!
I do have a very dear fondness for original actions and custom rifles, this one has a tiny gold SDH on the barrel. And tht crescent buttplate is plunged firmly in Angus crap on a gopher foray with the owner.
