Thats an amazing piece of work!

Machine gun of the ancients!

That repeater is one engineering work of art! Any chance of a diagram to see how it works ?

Sadly I don’t have any photographs on the action. So I hope you can understand this drawing I made of it:



The trigger is attached to the trigger housing. There are two pins that fit into slots in the trigger housing that allow the trigger housing to slide backwards when the trigger is pulled. The spring at the back push the trigger housing forward to reset the trigger. There is a pin, “Trigger/Sear locking pin”, that fits into a notch in the “Sear (Nut, I guess you call it, right? Wasn’t sure when I first drew these up)” When the bow string is placed on the top the of the “sear” it wants to pull it forward and put pressure on the locking pin to hold it all together until you pull the trigger backwards and disengage the “sear” which lets the string fly forward. It works very well, just has an ugly trigger pull that you can’t adjust. Can you understand that? If not just ask.
