I just diassembled my 1902 J.P. Sauer hammergun, so I can try to have the broken wrist repaired.
I was amazed at how perfect the machining is, especially where the front of the actual lock plates dropped into the receiver, I had never noticed how the plate dropped into the machined hole in the receiver, the work is that well done.
This action seems tiny to me for a 16 gauge. Is it? It is the only one I've ever seen, so this might not be anything special to someone with more old Sauer experience.
I took a few photo's to send to a friend. I will post them here if anyone cares to look. Excuse the quality, I just took them under a lamp, didn't go to any trouble.
