Still haven't got around to getting some additional info from the U of Edinburgh but I do have it in right now with an Birmingham trained smith getting a few niggling problems sorted out. Looking forward to being able to use it again next fall.

My William Evans sidelock (1898) has the Webley screw grip. From reading the posts here one gets the impression that this grip was used exclusively on boxlocks. Is it an anomaly for it to be found on sidelocks?

hello krakow kid, the webley screwgrip was used in vast numbers of sidelocks as well as boxlocks,hence "the ubiquitous screwgrip". cheers mrwmartin

The William Evans sidelock is usually described as a second tier gun, whether stocked to the fences or not. What tier is a similar gun with the Webley or W&C Scott name on it? Did any first tier makers ever purchase the Webley screw grip action?

hello jOe, the propriety action was a basic grade, on offer for sale alongside several other different quality and specification grades of screw grip.i am surprised you are unaware of that or have chosen to ignore the fact.
I'm fully aware of it Mr. Martin.... I find it kinda strange that you can get that idea from my post. What I was saying is that just because a gun has a screw grip action doesn't make it the best of anything. Did you by chance go to school with the Canadian twit that sang back up for you ?

Morning jOe, I see you have neither a sense of humour nor a good grasp of reality this morning. Hope you end up having a better day than it appears to have started for you.
