Sometimes you see the STRANGEST things!
#22586 - 24/12/04 01:31 AM

For all of you who admire the classic British double rifle I want to show you what you have been missing.

This is a double rifle I saw and photographed at the Vintagers in September, 2001. As I recall, it was a 9.3x74R.

This rifle belonged to Joe Martinelli of J-Mar Enterprises, who graciously let me take these photos. They are hand-held shots, so not too crisp. Sorry.

I believe there was a short article about this design in DGJ not long after this sighting.

Six photos to load. Be patient.

Anyone care to comment?

Best,
Curl

if I remember this correct think this is the Simsom - Jaeger brech lock. it work like the action of a german Parabellum pistol. my gunmaker have a 8x57irs double gun, he buy the action from the widow of the inventor in Suhl and build the gun arround this. he say that this is strongest possible brech action ever designed.

PWM,

Strong is an understatement with this rifle. Can you imagine what it would take to loosen it off the face?

Regards,
