Beautifull rifle!! Do you know how to call this safety, I have a Sauer single with the same safety. Do you have a close un of the action? Looks similar to Dougalls. Thanks MArtin

Johann-
Please show an image of the standing breech face of the action. This rifle has obturator discs similar to a high grade Darne shotgun, doesn't it?

Johann,
Thanks for re-posting. Hunt 101 often has problems and something must have gone wrong. I checked my account and the pictures are still there but they don't seem to be linking here for some reason . . .
Beautiful gun like all the guns in your collection!

Hi Martin (beleg2) and Mehulkamdar, Mehul please excuse my mistake in writting your name wrong because I am at any time in a hurry.Next time I hope it will work better. Martin we call the safety in German Language "Schmetterlings Sicherung" = butterfly secure or safety.Its simple but works perfect. regards Johann

Collath-
Again, please show us a view of the standing breech face of the action.
I believe this has obturator discs like the Darne shotguns. Does it?

Yeah the collath system is neat but personally i would have added a square peace over the lock to spread the force. I have seen a couple of them in auctions in sweden over the past few years but mostly drillings, petty i havent payed them to much attention as they are a nice construction and of high quality.
