Beautiful job on the animation, for sure.... Wish I had that talent....
Well look at that , a Quebecois and Ontarien actually getting along .
I’m up in Northern Labrador for work right now . -40c and blowing snow 30 to 40cm . Can’t wait to get home to the -30c . The mine site has been on shut down for the last 18 hours , pretty nasty out . I haven’t seen a winter storm like this since the early 80’s .
The Evanix is similar with blowback ,but not quite . It doesn’t blow back directly on the hammer . There’s another mechanism involved .

I had an FX Monsoon which used air pushing on a piston in the shroud to recock the mechanism but wasn't aware that there are rifles on the market that use direct blowback to cycle the action.
That sure looks a lot like the Evanix air speed mechanism.

Tho half the fun and learning comes from our mistakes & there is nothing wrong with that !

I wouldn't call it a "talent", just copy-pasting on MS Paint to make each individual frame then combining them on this nifty website.Here's a quickie with the subject of this thread made with just 3 unique frames:edit: or if one was feeling a little silly, voila
This looks very similar to a Cothran works minus the rod. i'd love to see a Cothran animation.
Thanks, just one more thing, how deep can the rod go in the stem?edit: Here's a more complete diagram, roughly to scale and just missing the return spring:
