Gentlemens:
For anyone who wondered what we have been babbling about, here are a couple pictures of an Alexander Henry rifle with a stalking safety. The safety is a sliding bolt that locks the hammer in the half cocked position. The idea is to keep the hammer from catching on a branch or vine or such and accidently getting pulled back to full cock, or worse, being pulled back and released to fire the rifle.
The first picture shows the hammer bolted, the second free. The last picture is of the inletting for the lock.



Steve, I disassembled the bolt and have about 40 pictures of it, too many to send via email. If'n you want I can burn them on a CD and post them to you.
