The keyed hooked breech system was designed for taking the barrels off for cleaning and or repair. What caliber are you looking at? The 50 and 54's are pretty heavy, and the later ones have a very fast twist My son has an older .58 has a and it holds and shoots very good.... Check the twist as they changed that over the years. Daryl. what was the twist in your ,58?
I was looking at a real man's one, the safari express 720, with a set of 10ga barrels. I shot some geese with a 10ga smoke pole and really enjoyed it and I think the 720 would be better for the local Sambar then a 58 or similar would. That and I love hunting big game with a 12ga so it suits my tastes.
