Hello Folks

I'm considering actions for a nice single-shot build. One of the actions under consideration is Steve Earle's Fraser.

Try as I might down here (in New Zealand) I have not been able to handle an original or replica although I'm sure there are a few about.

Anyhow could someone please enlighten me as to how the Fraser action feels as it is cycled via the side lever, both from fired or uncocked, and cocked. I want to know if the side lever is always under some tension, does it rise from the block down position by itself or does the operator have to "thumb" it back up.

Thanks
Foster
