Hi all

Well, I got more questions for you all....Thanks for your time and helping me out, to understand a bit more about the many style´s of DR made.

I know the Germans made some with it own style, maybe someone else use it to...not sure.

Like the clamshell I have asked about before....Then they had the blitzer action. Kind of a trigger plate action is it?

Is it more the same as the round action?

Did they have more action/lock style´s that was only made in Germany?

Why are these style´s more or less gone today?
Hard to make? Expensive to make, so it was kind of "lost", good but to expensive?

Thanks for your time all

The "blitz" is very similar to the Scottish round action design. Both are "trigger plate" designs, i.e.: the lockwork is attached to the trigger plate.

Here is a current German one that is made today.

Notice the wide trigger plate.

Hi

Thanks for the reply and help.
Yes, I can se what you mean. Thanks for the photo.

But, why is the blitz or trigger plate/ round action nor more used? Even back when it was first made?
Hard to make? No working so good as one was hoping? The last I find hard to think, knowing that the round action is well alive in Scotland.

And as you show us all, one now made in Germany to.

I don't know why they aren't more prevalent than they are. I see no inherent mechanical weakness that puts it above or below a sidelock or A&D boxlock.

I understand..Can it be that they are more expensive to make? Or are they not?

Thanks for your time and information

I would say they have to be more expensive or more time-consuming. Otherwise, we would not see the typical A&D actions, as they would be more expensive to produce.

Yes, I understand

Well, thank you for helping me out
