treblig1958 Sidelock Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 5,021 Pennsylvania	Originally Posted By: wyobirds I remember reading that O/U's were invented and produced prior to SxS's. Do any of you historians know? Very tricky to make an over/under muzzleloader and few gunmakers produced them. The side by side layout lends itself readily accepting the twin locks. I can find no patent for an over/under or a swivel breech that predates even a Manton side by side flintlock.
