In reply to:
The Top Lever Hammer configuration is the most elegant IMHO
I'll second that! My favorite by far in terms of looks and lines. Its a bit slower than a hammerless on the reload, but the elagance of hammers more than makes up for it in my book, and the top lever is much faster that an underlever. If it were just about efficency we'd all use AKs or FALs anyway. The triple crown would be a top lever/hammer in a large bore BPE. Still haven't laid my hands on one of those.
I have a few AK appropriate doubles and am usually found at birchwood on Sat am's if not hunting. Be forewarned, you can't look back!
