Does anyone know of a good close up pic of a Dickinson trigger plate action, removed from the action body, of course?

I've haven't had mine out ........ yet. Doug (PA24) took one apart years ago and had very high praise for the workmanship, but I can't recall him posting a picture of it.

Not the greatest, but gives you a good idea!

Thanks, Rick. Which pic shows the Dickinson?

SRH

beautiful workmanship interesting the hammers appear a light colored metal and the bridles are case colored. I would have guessed the hammers would be case hardened also.

Whoa!
Let's do a spell check first.
Dickson or Dickinson?
The pictures are of a Dickson trigger plate action from the famous Scottish maker.
There is a world of difference between the two!

The top photo sure looks like a John Dickson & Son, Edinburgh.
The small bottom photo is a ? James MacNaughton &Son ?, a better (larger) photo would help.

John Dickson trigger plate action:

Whoa! Yes that’s a Dickson! My bad! I had no idea AKUS had copied the Trigger plate action! Holy cow they are getting good!

No spell check needed. I spelled it correctly ..... DICKINSON. I am well aware of the differences between a Turkish made Dickinson and a Scottish made Dickson.

Thanks for the Dickson pics.

Still looking for a good pic of the Dickinson trigger plate action.

Thanks all, SRH

Stan I gOOgled Turkish turd but no picture came up.

Like you Stan, I too; own a .410 Dickinson Estate. Obviously, this pic isn't showing the trigger plate removed from the action body as you've requested, but at least it's a Dickinson.

Why don't Stan just take his out and look at it ?

Copy of a very old German Blitz lock action. The V spring powers both the hammer and sear, killing two birds with one stone, and the finish on the internal bits is as cast. No wonder they are cheap.

Define cheap, please. https://www.gunsinternational.com/guns-f...un_id=101506838

As long as it works reliably, what does it matter about highly finished lockwork?

Again, nobody is trying to compare it to a fine gun with all hand fitted and polished parts. Mine has functioned perfectly for four years, with crisp triggers, if a bit heavy. Heck, they're better than those on my Parker DHE.

Sheesh, ask about a pic and get a commentary.

Wild Skies,

Thank you for that photo. not exactly what I was looking for, but it helps, and will do until someone drops their triggerplate and photographs it. I drop out my Perazzi locks often, but it requires no screw removal to do so. Maybe one day I'll take mine off, but not yet.

SRH

Cheap as in low cost. Not in the derogatory sense describing some ladies of the night!

Simple lockwork, minimal finishing on internal parts, using a tried and tested design (no R&D costs)is the way to keep costs and prices low.

Using a name that lends itself to confusion, as shown by the first posts of this thread posting pics of DRAs can't hurt either.

Stan, in case you haven't seen the innards of your Iside here's a look.

Thanks, Dave. I haven't pulled the buttstock off of it. Looks like pretty straightforward lockworks. I probably should go in there to make sure the sears and springs have a little light oil on them.

Best, SRH
