Was curious to see if anyone has seen this design on a mainspring? There is a roller on the upper leaf.

Anyone know what the dimensions would be? I see them all over the internet but they are all different sizes.

It’s an Isaac Hollis and sons built on a Richards Model “C” dolls head action.

I figured as much, would this confirm that this is a Richards patent made action and not an action supplied to Hollis by Richards? It is a spitting image of a Richards action both internally and external. Would Richards have used the original patent number on their actions? So many questions right! ...

Hey Tim, yes

Came across this c bolt Richards action and was curious to see if it is a Richards or made on a Richards patents? The gun is marked Isaac Hollis & sons London. Interesting thing, the inside action is marked S. Mills (Samuel Mills the actioner from Weaman st.?) https://i.ibb.co/vPxqC0N/6-F98-ED64-D5-...

John thank you, in the interim I did a search and found a post from google for the site regarding Rogers patent, I wasn’t sure if there were examples readily handy. I will continue my search!

I’ve recently come across this in descriptions of guns from the late 1800’s and was curious if there was any info on it, any help would be great!

Thanks for the leads!
