Curl,
Does the action of the underlever on the hammer gun push the hammers to half cock just before the barrels are allowed to drop? I see it doesn't have rebounding hammers.
This would be a great feature on a hammer gun obviating the need for rebounding hammers and at the same time bringing the hammers to "safe" half cock position.

Your question is in regard to the Woodward Automatic hammer double rifle pictured above and here:



The answer is yes. The hammers retract by action of the under lever, thus obviating the need for rebounding locks. The user can choose whether the hammers are drawn to half cock or to full cock by manipulating the sliding switch on the bottom of the action in front of the lever.

A beautiful system.
