In the wet, again, in theory a sidelock should be easier to "dry out". Just take the lock plate off.




If you get water inside the action, that won't be enough. The metal will still have to come out of the wood. My one experience with a Holland Royal in the rain cured me of ever making that mistake again.

I've hunted through many a monsoon rain with well made boxlock double rifles and have never had water get into one.
