doublegunshop.com - home Forums General Discussion DoubleGun BBS @ doublegunshop.com Seeking info on this rifle maker

I'll agree that it would be a pressure issue but you know how novel the continental makers are. And I know that it is not there just to catch your eye. So do tell there wild game chili cooker, it's function is what say you? Why is a pin and not simply a screw.

I am happy that this thread generated the comments that it did as it gave me a reason to more closely examine the inner working of the rifle. I am; however, going to have to reverse my statement that the nipple guard is retained by friction, it isn't. That pin in question transverses that side plate and terminates in a cam. The nipple guard is attached to the pin by the nut. when the nipple guard is swung forward off of the nipple the whole unit rotates and acts on a spring loaded pawl that is retained on the plate by the screw and pins that you see directly under the nipple bolster. I didn't get any photos of the mechanism as I am reluctant to try to remove the screws that retain the fore stock pieces. I would like to thank everyone who has or will participate in this thread as it has been a great learning event for me.

Well, it's been a pleasure having you come here and giving us the chance to discover something about a neat gun. Stick around. There's something to learn here every day.

Raimey,
Rather than my opinion,see Larry21556's description of the actual function of the"pin".My concern was not for the pressure anyway,rather it was for the BP residue and corrosion fouling any movement of a pin.
