It delights me when you parade your ignorance Karen.

Princess SKB, in your very first post within this Thread, you were asking Argo44 if this TOP LEVER Reilly Hammergun was a self cocker. I mocked the utter stupidity of such a statement. Then you went on to stupidly and dishonestly say that you "have seen quite a few hammerless guns that used the top lever to cock the locks".

You also stupidly explained that the longer top lever provides more leverage and makes compressing the mainsprings easier, which is even more B.S.

The facts, which you are too dumb to apparently understand, are that many people have some difficulty even opening a gun that uses a top lever only for operating the bolting mechanism, and also uses the much better mechanical advantage or leverage afforded by using the barrels to operate cocking and ejector/extractor mechanisms. Early on in hammerless sxs development, some gunmakers used things like side-levers and under-levers to cock the locks, but those levers were longer and stouter than the top lever on this Reilly. However, they learned relatively quickly that using motion and leverage of the barrels while opening the gun was a much better system, which prevails to this day. That's why you were unable to show us even one sxs double gun that utilized the top lever to both operate the bolting mechanism and cock the mainsprings.

I knew that you were simply making up shit when you said, "I have seen quite a few hammerless guns and rifles that used the top lever to cock the locks..."

I never expected to see you admit your dishonesty or ignorance, but I have sure enjoyed seeing you tap-dance around the truth. You wanted to impress us, but instead got caught in another lie.

Voting for anti-gun Democrats is dumber than giving treats to a dog that shits on a Persian Rug
