Michael, I would remove my reminder to j0e, but it seems that there is no way to edit and delete after this time has gone by.
Sorry!
Btw, I did take this topic/thread to the top from p4.
Be a good sport and overlook my replies, and please go on with your study.

Guys- thanks for the pics & infos on the guns.

I hope some more people reply with their Premiers.

BTW: all W & C Scott's are welcome.

Thank you Michael for posting these pictures. One obvious thing that was changed over the years on this Scott is the beavetail forend. I plan to have this rectified in the future. Th gun was made in the 1890s locks up and operates like it was made yesterday and has fluid steel barrels but there's no indication it was ever proved for smokless powder.

Michael,

What can you tell us about the cross-bolt on that gun? I have a Scott with the same bolt which is different that the ones I have seen on other guns.

Thanks,

JDG

Jay, It's jim's gun I just posted the pictures for him.

In Vegas late week I looked at a Monte Carlo “B” that had a square crossbolt but seem to remember it was somewhat different. This was a cosmetically challenged gun (needed the barrels reblued-browned and a stock finish but a nice tight gun with good barrels for $1600 asking, don’t remember the seller but was still there last I looked.

Jim, Very nice gun and I agree a beaver-tail only looks right on a beaver.

Jay:
I can answer your question at least in regards to my Scott. To open the gun you push the top lever to the left rather than to the right. It is the only double I've ever owned that operated this way. IMO: This is a more logical arrangement for a right handed shooter as you can simply push the lever to the left. with your thumb rather that having to reach across to push it to the right
Jim

Italian -

It sounds like your Scott was made as a true left-handed gun. I've seen a few left-hand British guns, but they're few and far between.

What does it say on the rib of your gun?

What type of forend latch does it have?

I think the square crossbolt as called something like Scott's Improved crossbolt, or something like that. I'll have to look it up.

It looks like a way to sneak around Greener's patent.

I've been told that square bold are much harder to fit right.

OWD,

That is exactly what mine says on the base of the rib "Scott's Improved Bolt". It is exactly the same as Jim's bolt however it is reversed for a right-handed shooter. I'll post pictures shortly.

Thanks,

JDG

Does the bolt on a normal (right-hand) gun protrude to the left, I seem to remember the “B” with the bolt sticking out on the left side when open?
