500 Nitro,

Some time ago, in a public debate on action types in one of the British magazines (was it Guns Review? I can't recall rightaway) someone ended an argument commenting that Geoff Boothroyd was the greatest authority on shotgunning until then and pointed out that he used a Dickson round action pair throughout his life.

Mac Naughton on NE has a Bar in Wood Mac Naughton 12 bore which is probably the most beautiful shotgun I have ever seen and he informs me that round actions are listed along with sidelocks at British auctions.

I agree with you on this completely!

Just check this Harkom boxlock on sale on one of the US gun lists! http://www.gunsamerica.com/guns/976373633.htm

(Thanks Mac Naughton, for alerting me to the missing web link

)

Good hunting,
