I ran across statement where CSMC is stating opposing double bridge action on their RBL SxS. Either I am having a memory laps or what not. But what is an opposing double bridge action? I did a couple of searches with no good results. Anyone have an idea on what CSMC is referencing?

Stan;

Do you suppose that "opposing double bridge action" is meant to be in the same perception category as "no 3-day inspection period"?

i suspect it is a marketing technique - sometimes referred to as...if you can't dazzle em with brilliance, baffle em with bullshit....

best regards,

tom

Bridge is the name given to the part of the action flats beteen the left and right side. Like the horizontal bit of the letter H. Double bridge I am guessing refers to the fact that in this action the bridge is on two levels, one at the flats and one below, under the sliding bolt. Some doubles do not have the top bridge. Just a guess.

Good heavens. Those engravings and that case-hardening are an awful combination, to my eye. And the heads of those pins don't even look round.

However, that graceful arc where the action meets the buttstock is just beautiful. A line struck by a carvel-hull boatbuilder.

It looks like a standard Purdey double underbolt to me (with a healthy dose of marketing buzzwords).

I suspect wordplay, Rich, plain and simple.

Nice engraved barrel wedges.

I don’t think that the heads of the pins are meant to be rounded, but finished flush, as they are engraved over - which lays up problems for the first strip and clean.

Maybe it has something to do with double secret probation?

That's a Laser engraved pattern. The pins within the engraving pattern meant to be flat. They are engraved with the Laser as part of the pattern all at the same time. Innother words the pins are assembled into the frame at the time of Laser engraving.
Then assembly must be done carefully to line them up so the pattern matches.
If the pin is not flush with the surface it can also detract from the looks.

I have no idea what an opposing double secret bridge action is.
