315EGL
Older VC boxlocks like the one in my earlier post were A&D boxlocks. The newer VCs use an entirely different action with a four-lump lockup.


Dover, I think you got lost in the shuffle between Vouzelaud and Verney-Carron. The gun in your earlier post was a Vouzelaud. The 4 lump lockup is Verney-Carron . . . unless Vouzelaud is also using a 4-lump lockup.


Sorry for the confusion, Larry. I was referring to the picture I posted of the V-C with the two screws on the bottom plate. That V-C was a 1950s sideplated Anson & Deeley body action (did I get that right, Raimey?), unlike the 4-lump action V-C is selling today.


Such a long, long time to be gone, and a short time to be there.
