Sidelocks seem to be "best" guns but are the more reliable than a boxlock? If you had the money which would you rather have? I always thought sidelocks were not as reliable as boxlocks. I am talking about british DG guns.




Boy this thread will get alot of opinions I am certain...

A sidelock is more complicated to manufacture, and time consuming to complete, thus the higher evaluation. Reliability wise, certainly a nice Webley long bar screw grip would serve over time the best imo for the money. Though I own 90% "best" sidelocks in my collection, I prefer to take my boxlocks on tough, hot, humid, wet hunts for the obvious reasons.

In regards to choice if one has the means, a "best" British pre-war sidelock ejector hands down.
