<xs headspace>Merkel Muzzle Adjustment
Anybody have a photo, or a diagram of the adjustment gadget on the Merkel double rifles?? Can't picture how the muzzles move, but a rib still connects them.

JudgeGThe adjustments are not visible except for the Allen wrench holes. The left barrel is not connected to the rib (at the muzzle, anyway).

<xs headspace>Thanks! Looks like the allen screws probably have cone shape ends, and are bored at an angle, so that the top screw moves the left barrel down/left, and the bottom screw moves the left barrel up and left, when screwed in. I can get allen set screws with the little nylon lock insert, so it won't vibrate out of regulation from recoil. Building my own...on a Merkel 12 ga. action.
