Pulp, SASS#28319 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I watched Gun Stories the other night, it was about the Rolling Block. They kept stating over and over how strong the action is. They said the hammer fall holds the block in place. But if you can roll the hammer back with one thumb and the block with one thumb, where does the strength come from? I can't see where anything locks into place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Boy Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Pulp, good explanation in the article ... When the user pulls the trigger, the hammer not only strikes the firing pin, but it also cams under the breech-block, locking it firmly into place at the moment that the cartridge discharges. This prevents the cartridge from moving backwards as the gunpowder propels the bullet forward. The hammer springs are heavy also. Have a 43 Spanish with an 11# 1.5oz trigger pull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
