Hey Daryl, thanks for the notes.

The rifles I pictured in my last post there are both early 1860's *more modern* patent actions with fairly heavy double lump bites and 'T' shaped bolts. The original Lefaucheux patent action often referenced in comparison to british guns bearing the Jones patent featured only a single bite. What I have are a couple of european guns with action features very much like the Jones system (double bite, screw action, underlever), but with the lever pointing forward instead of back under the trigger guard, and with rather stout engagement with the solidly-hinged forend.

This is a bit of detail of the shorter, lighter of the two, the photo was to show the sights, but you'll get the idea.

Here's the bolt and scalloped action 'flats' Note the strong present case colors. This gun was a rack queen for over a hundred years!

Here you can see two more lugs which engage in the locking features of the forend. The lockup on the Mahillon is very similar. Both of these rifles lock up amazingly tight, are very solid, and have yet to have thier actions adjusted.
