Keith, The firing pin is mounted on the hammer and the rifle is cocked on opening. The trigger pull is nice and not heavy, I did not check it with my gauge. The lever on the right side a safety and works directly on the trigger its very positive. One thing that is interesting to me is the extractor/ejector, its positive but simple in design. There is a drawing in the Winfer book that shows the internal design and the photos in the book show the actual internal parts. The action currently resides with Glenn waiting for a new barrel so I can't take additional photos. That's ok because my photo skills are poor!
One interesting thing about the action is it has no serial number that can be verified. The number 28 is stamped on various parts and the frame but IMO they are there for to keep the parts together during the manufacture. That's just a guess on my part.
I don't want anyone to think I believe this is the finest miniature action ever made, a Hagn would be a much better choice. This action is just unique and cool!
