Regarding your bringing up, on some German guns, the concept of intercepting sears some time back, got me to thinking. If I am not in error, and I very well may be in error, the picture of German action you had on this website, showing what you were calling intercepting sears is not really intercepting sears at all, but are simply sears with appropriate pivot points (pin you were talking about) to mechanically make it far less likely that they would slip off the tumbler. I believe that "real" intercepting sears are different, usually in pair--two sears per tumbler---and function truly as "intercepting," should one of the pair fall off tumbler. Am I wrong on this?
