"There was never anything like it produced here in the new world." This is just a farm implement tool but how close does this come to being a true sidelock? [img] https://i.imgur.com/cW8FEKV.jpg?1[/img]

[img] https://i.imgur.com/cW8FEKV.jpg?1[/img] Where are the intercepting sears? I can’t help but notice the sad state of the screw heads. Someone managed to pooch every, single, one of them.

This has elegant side locks. It is a Westley Richards 10 gauge on a massive frame with Kilby barrels and Stanton side locks. The sidelock has all the screws timed and all internals are highly polished…

You can explain the differences, but, there are those that just can’t grasp them.
Pretty gun, by the way.
Best, Ted

Where are the intercepting sears
Intercepting sears in my opinion were put on those guns because of the type of shooting where you had a loader take out the empties if needed, load gun and hand it back cocked and ready to fire hot with no safety on. Who knows how many times these guns were dropped and went off. If American gun manufacturers thought intercepting sears were important they would have put them in.
One thing about the English guns is that at the end of the season the gun/s were sent back and everything looked over and fixed if need be. Not a practice here in the States.

What’s the price of admission for that? I’ve been afraid to ask.
