There is an old thread from 2012 that shows a photo of what Dustin is talking about, a sauer with overhanging sear which is the principal sear as opposed to a secondary intercepting sear. The overhanging sear screw is in the same location on the German gun as the screw for an intercepting sear on an English boxlock, for example. Unfortunately, I do not know how to show or bring up an old thread here (the photo describing the overhanging sear was originally from sauerfan, post # 270748 if anyone knows how to pull that up).

Socialism is almost the worst.
