Excuse my ignorance but where is the mainspring for the Wrist Breaker? I see where I think it is supposed to engage the bottom of the tumbler, and I see what I assume is the sear spring, but I can't figure out what powers the tumbler.

Thanks, Doverham


The mainspring and cocking limb are one piece, see that nub at the back of the action in the inletting photo? Thats the mainspring..its long and has several jobs to do. The intercepting sears or patent block safety is mounted on the floor plate in case you were wondering were that was located as well. Mr. F. Beesley sure had some great ideas.
