Just a little known fact the SKB is an Anson and Deely action and when they started to make that gun, they paid Webley and Scott to go there and send their men for one month for a lesson and how to put the gun together, SKB mechanism is an improved Webleyand SCOTT design not a modern mouse trap
I’d argue that the early Miroku SxS’s were in fact direct copies of a Webley 700 action….much more so than the SKB. Are you sure Miroku didn’t have a collaboration with W&S rather than SKB?
And yes, a good 95% of boxlocks are a copy of the A&D. Lancasters, Greener FP, and some American & continental guns being the exception.
It’s been known that the RBL is virtually a direct copy of the SKB for literally a decade and a half now……well, since its public introduction anyways.
