Hello Gents,

I ran across this curious Basque "5 locking lug" action and am wondering if anyone here is familiar with the history of such an invention. Is this English, Continental, Spanish, Italian? Who designed it? Has it been used elsewhere?

The manufacturer of this gun is "Hijos de Juan Bautista Arrizabalaga." This particular example was made in the early 50's, but I am told that there are examples that go back to 20s or before.

Thanks in advance,

David
