Interesting hinge pin design. The gun reminds me of a Savage 240? O/U 410 my uncle has.

Robert; You mentioned Torkalson, What do you have on him. The only thing I know about him is the short paragraph in Carders book. I do know he used one of the very few practical, single selective triggers of his time. Very few SSTs let you choose your barrel while a bird is flushing, as his does. Do you know who has the patent on this..MDC

MDC, I don't have any Torkelson (or Sullivan, Wadsworth, Forehand, etc) single trigger patents...that's not to say that Torkelson didn't have one, but I don't have anything on it... One of Torkelson's associates, F W Hood, had a single trigger patent that's not applicable, but worth a look. If I have interpreted correctly.... it's for hammerguns, where you cock the desired first hammer only. When you pull the trigger, the cocked hammer falls....if you continue to pull the second hammer is dual action... DRAWING http://patimg1.uspto.gov/.piw?docid=US00...26RS=PN/0316622TEXT http://patimg1.uspto.gov/.piw?docid=US00...26RS=PN/0316622Can you describe the the trigger any better? Where is the selector? From the description that you gave, I remenbered a single trigger patent were the spring loaded trigger travelled left/right in a V pattern...back and to the right for the right barrel, then release, and back and to the left for the left barrel...or left first...you can decide on the fly... But I'm not sure which patent that is....and with 197 single trigger patents in my US file, it would take some looking to find it.

I can see why it was such a big hit. Do you know anyone that could convert my hammer guns to single trigger ?

Hey Joe, I thought the Klan worked on your guns...if not, take off your sheet and look it up in your local yellow pages..
I'll bet your Klan buddies don't even know about your.....you know...your "relationship" with Lowell

They do....that's why my hammer guns have two triggers.

Now, now. You guys have been good so far. This thread is interesting. Let's try to keep it technical and not personal. What do you say? Jake

Jake, As you can see, I was exchanging information with another member, when joe arrived with nothing more than snide comments...nothing whatsoever to do with Norwich guns.
At first I thought some of these guys were just letting their alcoholism spill onto the internet, and let it go at that...
I really appreciate your offer of peace but I have to ask you something? Joe shows up with post after post, with no other intention but to disrupt, and nobody says shit...but the first time I address Joes disruptions, ...
the problem started with joes THREE disruptions (posts 75937, 75951, 76149), right or wrong?
