I think they look cool, and the action seems pretty straightforward. As best I can tell they are basically a proto-Martini-Henry with a more elegant looking external hammer (the loss of curly hammers was the first instance of "tactical" triumphing of "beauty" ). I'm curious if they have worked well for any members here, or if they have some obnoxious design flaw that isn't readily apparent (like the lack of an extractor, or something). They are so simple in fact that it may be more fun to try and build something based on the design than purchasing a safe queen
