Of course it doesn't. It has to have SIDELOCKS.

Here's a sidelock without any screws on the bottom of the action:

And here's a Dickson. It's not a boxlock or sidelock, but it has one screw on the bottom of the action:

Perhaps I should have worded it differently. A single screw in the bottom does not a sidelock or boxlock make.

That was your rule, remember?

How come you are posting links that pretty much refute the link you previously posted, here:

Sidelock:

One screw for the trigger plate.

Boxlock:

One screw for the trigger plate. One screw for the bottom plate.

Position of triggers is another give away.
