12 bore Square sideplated over and under
The Boxall and Edmiston Square Sideplated over and under is the sister model to the hugely popular round action OU. With additional space for engraving the Sideplated version includes a choice of game scene vignettes, either from the existing library or entirely new to clients specification.
The square sideplated over and under builds on the success of the round action OU and the side by sides in the Boxall and Edmiston range.
Both over and unders have a classic trigger plate lockwork system. This system is central to the action allowing maximum impact of the main (leaf) springs force as it pushes the hammer into the striker. Furthermore, the central location of the lockwork allows minimal striker angle through the action body to the breech face which delivers the cartridge detonation more efficiently as it hits the detonator almost straight on.
The use of leaf springs, a must on classic British guns, gives a faster detonation time as it’s energy can be released more efficiently as it is uncompressed as the sear releases the hammer.
