I do have a M1887 shotgun here and have owned several M1887 and M1901's in the past. It would have never occurred to me to compare the actions of those two firearms (to an Evans). I really wasn't joking when I said you knew my guns better than I do
I can see how if you have studied these designs as closely as you have, the originality and "genius" of some of these famous inventors starts to fade a bit.
