Capt Curl,

I agree, that sure looks to be a hell for strong action. I wasn't aware of the full width hinge pins either. My only negative comment is the placement of that full pin is below the barrels, where there is more leverage against it, plus it is a short action. But with the double underbites, double Kirsten fasteners ( with the pins extending down from the bottom of the extensions) I doubt the action would ever shoot loose, and is probably as strong as any SXS. Thanks so much for the education.

I don't think the Bissel rising bite is anymore effective than a Greener or Kirsten bolting, but I like that it is more subtle. The greener is probably stronger as both sides of the crossbolt are supported. Plus, the greener will lock an action by itself, where the Bissel is intended to counteract the breech pulling away from the action.

I really enjoy discussions like this. So much to learn.....
