Re: Dreyse Double

there are three different levels how to make a safety

1. you block some part in the gun action, usualy the trigger
2. you block the firing pin
3. you release the main spring and that bring the highest level of safety

Dreyse hunting guns allways release the main spring and I suppose your double rifle will do it also.
you see here the old Dreyse double gun. the "firing pins" in fact the needle holder are cocked but when you push the lever between the firing pins you loose the casing or unit which hold the firing pins and main springs. at once the casing is coming back, uncock both main springs and now the double gun is complete safe! when you push the casing back into the receiver you cock both main springs again...




on your pics it looks to me that your double have some kind of cover panel at the rear end of the receiver and when you push the button inside the red circle I made here you also release both firing pins. then the cover with firing pins inside must coming back but you cock the main springs again when pushing the cover against the receiver.
