For a look at the working parts see:
Lock in a Box

There is also a look Inside a Boxlock Stock of an A&D on my web site...

If you want to understand the boxlock's "inner workings," both of these are extremely helpful sources.


Such a long, long time to be gone, and a short time to be there.

Gentlemen, indeed there are many references to the A&D action and yes hopefully Diggory will do his very best to expand on the subject in his forthcoming book which should see daylight in the Autumn ( Fall). But I do know that Douglas Tate would be the one to open up Pandora's box about Anson & Deeley as he has some very interesting history about the subject.

I emailed Doug Tate and asked if he was doing an article on A&D.
As usual I was late for the party, Doug has already done an article and it will be in the July edition of Shooting Sportsman.
I hope it sheds some light on William Anson, because there is plenty written about John Deeley, but very little about Anson can be found.

My boxlock book will hit the shelves in October. I hope I haven't missed out too much!

Douglas Tate has an article titled "Anson & Deeley, Then and Now" in the July/August, 1996 issue of Shooting Sportsman.

The first edition of my book on pheasant hunting came out about the same time as books on the same subject by Steve Grooms, Datus Proper, and Chris Dorsey. Always room for more players.

SDH, thanks for concise photos about the operation of the A&D, very clear to see the workings.
I think I remember reading once that had the A&D been developed before the sidelock, the sidelock never would have been invented.


My problem lies in reconciling my gross habits with my net income.

The hammerless sidelock was a very natural progression from hammerguns: mostly just moving the hammers from the outside to the inside. The A&D was a much more radical departure in the development of the shotgun.

Red,

I have a copy of Vintage British Shotguns by Terry Wieland, publisheb by Shooting Sportsman (great magazine). I bought it on line at Amazon. It has a great chapter on Birmingham guns. It provides some good history on the action and some details of the inner works - along with many of the other various types of actions.


Sincerely,
Patrick
