Also has Scotts Lever-Grip top bite and patent gas vents on the breech face.Interesting how the various Scott actions evolved over a period of some 25 years. Better to keep your mouth shut and be thought stupid,than open it and confirm.

And all that stuff on English best guns such as golden strip or arrow on hammer axle made just for fun. Are you going to inspect your gun to figure out its cocked or uncocked during hunting, are you stupid or something? Geno.

See pocket watches with up to 30 complications. The same customers, the same demands, just a different forum. It was the age of mechanization and colonial wealth. Out there doing it best I can.

Kensal Rise Sidelock Joined: Oct 2007 Posts: 496 Undisclosed	Hammergun: The release shown was only used on the A quality Scotts. Premier, Excellencia, etc. It is a W. Scott patent. My Premier has one. It is unusual, but not my favourite since its operation is counter-intuitive and a bit dicey for the ham-handed. This scribe included. However, the look is very slick and sophisticated. Best, Kensal
