I owned a basic Hellis BLNE that was a solid gun. One design I've seen on Hellis guns, but not on many others from the UK, is a gun with a little metal plate added to the stock right behind the receiver. An attempt, I guess, to give somewhat the effect of a sideplated boxlock. Can't decide whether I like the look.
