D.A. Stanley underhammer action.

[Colonial Boy]

Has anyone ever seen one of these ”in the flesh”?
I’ve been wondering what the internals are like and I can imagine at least three alternatives.
what think ye all?

I think it is OK, if you like a coil spring. It appears to be a decent action.

I like something more graceful like this R.J. Renner, using trigger guard/spring energy.
Thanks for posting.

Looking at the Stanley, I bet it's a lot simpler than you think?

Here's mine? WAY too complicated internals, but it works..
Need to do a rebuild and make it a single trigger. On a UH the DS trigger is superfluous.
( but I had to answer the ego challenge )
