It would be very intersting to see the inside of the lock and the mechanism of it

That may be a possibility corrado26.

Hi, Dana

It is possible that the two barrel are fired at a time, running top bread, and exposing both ears?

It seems unlikely Fernando K. The top pan is not aligned with the flash hole until it is slid into place above the bottom pan. Maybe if you put enough powder in the second pan alone it could work, but I wouldn't want to try it.

Hi, Dana

I see the upper ear is in the same line as the hole in the bottom pan, so that the ignition of the powder produced bait, hot gases and some grains of powder can reach the upper ear.

I might indeed ignite, but I doubt if that was the intention of the design. Still it is possible Fernando K.

Your wish has been granted. Sorry the photos aren't better but I didn't have much time.

Thanks a lot for showing the mechanical side of this very ingenious lock but I must confess I cannot see how or by what the upper pan is moved backwards by recocking the cock.

I video would help . Actually it is not that hard to follow, but it will take me some time to put a good explanation together. Stay tuned.

I've created a short YouTube video that shows how the sliding pan works.

Hi all

Dana has made a great effort to introduce the video, we know that the withdrawal of the first bread is automatically produced with the second hammer assembly, but we would have liked a description of the mechanical parts for their achievement

I am working on that Fernando K. This was more of a test to see if I could get the lighting right. Stay tuned.
