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?

![[Linked Image from images.gunsinternational.com]](http://images.gunsinternational.com/listings_sub/acc_3690/gi_102465124/CONNECTICUT-SHOTGUN-CUSTOM-RBL-12-GAUGE_102465124_3690_227A8CECD68E3F4F1.jpg) It looks like a standard Purdey double underbolt to me (with a healthy dose of marketing buzzwords).

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.

I suspect wordplay, Rich, plain and simple.
Nice engraved barrel wedges.
May God bless America and those who defend her.

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.

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

If you Google "opposing double bridge action", you get several answers the more you Google it. It says that it is supposed to resemble the Boss or Purdey lock up system. One time I Googled it, it said that the barrels were connected at the breech end, but were separated at the muzzle end.

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.
