Gentlemen,
Thank you for your replies, I didn't see the other thread on this subject until several hours after I posted my question.
LRF, I read somewhere that RF Ballards were the only U.S. rifles with three Rigby Flats. The weather here is no different from last years 'Summer' except it's no longer rain but snow. Temps down to -9 and have been for three weeks in my locality. Windchill makes it feel even colder.
Brent, I'm not at all sure they were put there for 'Bubba's' it would be far too confusing for them.lol.
Mr. Helsley, many British single shot rifles had a 'Nocks Form' but only one, on the top of the barrel and they usually were higher and much more substancial than the Rigby Flats. The British Military Martini-Henry 577/450 had a typical Nocks Form of the period. That shape would lend itself to assisting in removing and replacing a barrel, but not four of them surely?
