You're kidding, right? W. & C. Scott did NOT do sloppy or poor work on any guns, let alone fully engraved sidelocks.
Which is my point!
For whatever reason the oversized standing breech appears to have been deliberate back in the day.
About all I can say on the matter without getting into an argument...
...except that if you find any of these "dogs" on your side of the ditch Lindsay, please send them over to those of us who appreciate fine gun-making,
regardless of variations in house style! 
Not questioning the actual workmanship, just sloppy and poor to mismatch barrels to actions. Hell if there was any advantage mechanically to have 'overhanging' breech faces then every gun builder would have done it. Not one poster here has said in looks a nice gun, in fact most have said it looks a cobbled gun or words to that effect. I don't care who made it, it is sloppy work to put a gun together like that.
