Bushveld, I am not sure of your opinion of the source of the Watson, but I'm not arguing the Birmingham source. Of course, a second tier maker is sourcing their actions and other parts from Birmingham. The pictures of this Watson gun don't make clear whether the action is a Scott rising lock or whatever they call it. (The correct terminology is the "Webley Screw Grip"). My 1911 Evans pair has that action and as far as I am concerned, it is the greatest little action I have ever seen. I can't see how it could ever get loose. British guns of second tier are available for sale, but the buyer must know his guns.
