In reply to:
Do not confuse "double underlugs" with the "locking bolt". Chapuis double SxS rifles have 2 parallel "hooks",[underlugs] one under each barrel, where typical double rifles have one "hook" in between the barrels. British, and most other doubles have 2 narrow "bites". The Chapuis has one WIDE "bite"[locking bolt]. Chapuis claims their system along with the design of the reciever is much stronger than the typical British style action.
Where would the Demas doubles fit in? It looks to me like they have 3 underlugs.
