i have no clear information about the owners/and partners of the talk of the forum firm but i do know they were humble pros in gunsmithy.


yes praveen i have been planning and rough sketching a few copycats to work out a feasible 2nd stage,infact praveen what i cud find was the ball break action was more complicated than tuna's design,although the metal and its treatment i guess wud be more important for the reliability after some hundreds of shots.

note- please pm incase u manage some pro free info from the mentioned firm.

I've been planning to make another sear using MS plate and harden it. Have discussed the same with Grumpy on an earlier thread.

ya i had read the posts u were referring.
,i was thinking about using steel of high carbon content but something not brittle,ofcourse it has to get cut according to the profil by an expert machinist using the correct tools.the metal wud be used for Both the sear as well as the trigger.
if you have the knowhow please share, i just have a feeling that we cannot gurantee the success of self hardened MS,or if we do in either of the metal than was there any existing instrument or method to check the hardness of the ms before and after.

I'm planning to use an hacksaw and some files for the job.

I guess MS would be good enough if tempered properly. You can read Mark's posts on tempering steel in the following thread-

The tempered steel offers greater resistance to abrasion from a file/bench grinder.
