Marrakai,

Thanks for responding. Please do post any pictures that you may have the opportunity to take in the future or invite your friends who own Lockfast guns to please do so. Thanks.

Jerry,

The sheer strength of the Lockfast action is something that several writers at the time acknowledged. My guess is that the action was more forgotten because of its cost and its appearance with the unusual sidelever opening mechanism than anything else. But I am always happy to defer to experts who know better.

Ben,

That must hurt! Whoever ended up buying the rifle must be one lucky man!

Good hunting, gentlemen!
