Explain the differences from back action, bar action, 7 pin, nine pin. Now's the time to post pictures of the various types of your favorite guns. the pros and cons. The myriad of pin placement. There seems to be an unlimited amount of variations. Even tho I've been back into hunting for the last 4 years my knowledge is still severely lacking. I don't know what I don't know

>>There is a fantastic 396-page book named "Platines" by Laurent Bedu, that describes the most common sidelock systems: Beesley, Holland, "Scott", etc... and also includes the Italian ones Betretta, Zanotti, ... and the obscure ones such as Defourny and Francotte FASD. The book is in French but I know that the author is working on an English translation.<<
WC:
Did the English version ever materialize?

Thanks ellenbr.
There are 3 guns I have under consideration
A Blanch back action
A Lancaster 12/20 that I’m impatiently waiting for to finally get here from England
And the Bland back action I asked about previously
And the next one I might find that I’d have interest in ( a Daly or WR)

Ah, skip 'em all and jump up to the Daly. A WR is just an inferior substitution to the pinnacle of perfection Daly.
But for sure don't let me prevent anyone from posting some images or info......

KS,
If you don't have Diggory Hadoke's book "Vintage Guns: Collecting, Restoring and Shooting Classic Firearms", you may want to pick one up. He covers the 12/20 and other sidelock actions. The 12/20 was built to be a light gun (6 to 6 1/4 lb range) as it came out in the late 20s timeframe and was competing with other lightweight guns of the time (Churchill 25, 2" guns, etc.). It is not a bar action lock, but definitely looks like one except for the missing front pin. As you already probably know, every gun has to be individually evaluated.

I own a number of sidelocks. But none match my Daly’s.
The world cries out for such: he is needed & needed badly- the man who can carry a message to Garcia
