The following info doesn't hold a candle to the verbiage above and is not a definition but merely a reference: "(7) The flat top surface of the action bar is called the action flats in England. We sometimes use the same term, but more often we call this the water table - why, I don't know. An English friend suggested a possibility: When the action of a side-by-side gun is properly fitted the barrel flats and action flats don't actually touch, and the few-thousandths-inch gap between them is enough to collect and hold water on a rainy day." Michael McIntosh - "Shotguns and Shooting" pp 63-64. dt/cc do you fit the bill or resemble the remark of the "English friend" and is that a quote of yours???
Kind Regards,
