I need some help interpreting this Jun 1861 Reilly Advertisement. I understand Reilly making the Dougall Patent, and the Jones underlever "double bite"...but have a difficult time with the mention of "sliding action" which appears to include a shell extractor. Might this be Bastin"s patent? Purdey used a bunch of those actions.
