AM posting two pics here along with pic of the D-Type Spring & Loop action for comparison. Best regards," David, Hmmm? Wondering how the let-off is adjusted, as the let-off button does not appear to have holes in it. Some special tool, perhaps? Or,...something simpler? Interesting Single Escapement Action(s) to be sure. I've only worked on two. Both were of the example shown, not the single screw/double flange thang. (That's a bit weird. Was there a shortage of screws available when these actions were made?<G>) Regards, Joe Garrett, R.P.T. Captain of the Tool Police Squares R I
