Many thanks Jon S. My findings match yours. I meant to differentiate between those A & D Body Action Charles Daly offerings, and purely Lindner also, from those that do not wear the the Quality Control Mark of Lindner. Also, I'd like to not include those by Golcher, Jakob, etc. for the time being.

If you look at the following thread where an A&D Body Action is pretty much summed up by 2 visual screws in the floorplate:

"Re: the 2 screws on the belly: It's an easy way to do a quick sort when checking a large gun rack of SXS such as at auctions etc.
No screw is WR droplock, 1 screw is sidelock, 2 screws is the remainder."

So, why is only 1 visible on the Lindner offerings? Is it an attempt to separate it from all the other typical A&D Body Action offerings or is it a design criteria that sets it apart?

The Val. Chr. Schilling offering also has a single visible floorplate screw.

Cheers,

Raimey
