Allen, you are getting silly! If the rifle doesn't recock the tumblers when it is broken open, then there is no need for the cocking levers normally housed in the BARR

Mac, sorry ol' chum but you are wrong on this.

The Krieghoff and Blaser systems actually DO have cocking levers housed IN the action bar!

Both these rifles cock the TUMBLERS when the barrels are broken just like most other hammerless doubles!

The cocking slide DOES NOT cock the tumblers!

The cocking slide merely compresses or decompresses the mainsprings!

These rifles do not use as you say a "boxlock" action!

These rifles use basicly a trigger plate type action which has a mainspring compress/decompress system added!

The Blaser automaticly shifts the cocking slide to the rear every time the gun is opened where the Krieghoff does not!

The decocking system does not make the action design any stronger than other trigger plate type actions!
