Curl-

Funny that, I'd saved the images of the 303 the first time I saw them. I have those photos tucked away in a few different places.

There's an early Belgian patent on monoblock construction too, I think it's a Pieper patent.
I'll dig for the details some time this week.

I'd seen the rifle you noted above when it came around as well.
Just like the 303, I was in full drool mode when I'd seen it.

They're a kind of different look that a lot of guys just don't get -- you know, like a black stock on a double rifle. Most everyone will puke at the thought, unless it's an original ebonized Purdey where the perspective makes all the difference.
I especially like the Scottish rifles though and unique little features like those stout monoblocks and spindly barrels are icing on the cake.
