Comparing the pin placement of the new Lancaster to a 1931 Purdey:





There's one extra pin on the Lancaster, otherwise it looks pretty much the same to me. Might be a clone and not the simplified design referred to.

Wonder what the extra pin is for?

Dunno without looking inside!

Love these doubles.

P.S. In my opinion, which doesn't amount to much, I think they could do a heck of a lot better job of shaping the action bolster.

And also, if this rifle is "ready for the engraver" then the engraver had better be an accomplished actioner. It will require a good bit more filing and polishing before going to the engraver. I'm sure they know that and will certainly attend to it.
