The Purdey side by side action patented in 1880 is still made now with only very minor changes.
The action mechanism, designed by Frederick Beesley, retains a portion of the energy in the mainsprings to facilitate the opening of the gun - "an inherent easy opener!"
The over & under is derived from the Woodward, patented 1913.
The action blocks for all guns are cut from certified forgings, for consistency of grain throughout and are fitted to the barrels to give a perfect joint.
The actioner then fits the forend, the locks, the strikers and the safety work before finally detonating the action.

‘Detonating’ the action is the process whereby the actioner chisels, files, forms and polishes the outside of the
action to give the true Purdey shape. Customers can choose between square and rounded bar actions for both side by side and
over & under guns.
Such is the Purdey dedication to absolute fit and finish that the customer can be assured that from the inside out,
the gun is as perfect as is possible.
