Hopkins & Allen 12 ga. Falling Block

Print Post  
???I have come across this gun for a repair. The only markings on it are "The Hopkins & Allen Manufacturing Company, Norwich, Conn. Pat June 28 85 and October 2 88".
I have been trying to find a drawing or schematic but with no luck. I am hoping that soneone on this board can help or point me in the direction of help.
I am new here but love to shoot. Have a  TongueSharps 1874 repro and am looking for a place to shoot in Central Florida. Thanks and I am happy to be here. Smiley

My best guess is you have the Large Frame action. You can find a breakdown of parts and some information of the action in deHaas's book Single Shot Rifles and actions on page 213

pookie,

  You can get any of several of Frank deHaas's book by ordering from his boy Mark at:

20049 West State Highway Z
Ridgeway, MO  64481

  The book 40Rod mentions, "Single Shot Rifles and Actions", costs $27 ppd. Add $1.50 for Canadian orders.
