To be fair, the two presenters clearly state they are presenting the British boxlock. However they do offer it as an attractive buy opportunity and on that score it is prudent to widen the scope and compare with non British products.
Well, there is one boxlock out there which engineering wise runs circles around the Anson-Deeley design. It is the Beretta 626. It is owner serviceable, parts drop ion without hand fitting and are available, at a reasonable price. To give an example, the articulated front trigger of the 626 can be bought for about 50 Euro, and when it arrives it can be fitted with no smoking in etc in a few minutes. The 626 is the most "LUX" alternative, there are othes like the French Robust, whhich are equally serviceable and have affordable spares.
Such comparisons are useful for younger people considering a SXS. It is useful for them to know that there are SXSs that are as serviceable as any modern OU and can be found at similar or lower prices.
