JRB,

Some of us modern shotgun writers not only are not content to parrot what the makers say, but have put in many manhours on the bench learning to file flat and make intricate parts, design and prototype new action types and refurbish old shotguns.

However, not many of the reading public give a damn about the workings of shotguns. In a post above I mentioned the machining approach taken by AKUS in forming their action (subject of this thread). The round bar, the trigger plate action, in conjunction with the name Dickinson is an obvious allusion to a classic double gun action. No one noticed what is politely stated and a warning to the consumer in my post.

Ironically one of the features of the original round action were excellent trigger pulls! The whys and wherefores have been well documented by gunwriters, but not many noticed.
