"Widow Maker" is the right name for it whoever made it. When I was a kid I spent a morning in a duck blind with an older fellow who had one. He hadn't the arm strength anymore to reach up and pull to cycle the action, so he'd put the gun butt on the floor of the blind, lean over the gun and push down with both hands. I cringed every time he did it...Geo

George, slightly off topic but your story reminds me of one I heard on the Winchester 97, cold hands and that exposed hammer were responsible for sinking many a duck boat.
