Anyone like flip up breech underlevers

[HW777]

I'm a fan of the flip up type. Obvious issues are TP length and scope height/length.
TP length isn't the end of the world. There are some break barrels with quite long ones which can shoot nicely. Scope interference is the bigger issue.

I am designing a fixed barrel version of my recoiless springer and am wanting to use a flip up breech. Potentially looking at 'flip sideways' as an option to avoid the scope issue.

The flip up breech has merit Dan and is a very safe way to load an U/L but beware that the long transfer port will take more spring to make up for the lost volume at the loading port.

Agreed. Fortunately as it will be recoilless, a bit of extra spring doesn't really matter. Cocking will be a tiny be harder but doubt many people could tell without measuring it.
