Tinker a gun like that needs it own thread.....nice lock up.
Was it reffered to as screw grip ? Looks more like W & C Scotts older "Lever grip" except exposed.

Thanks for the replies, I understand now it is an extra fastener that works off the top lever spindle.

I found this one interesting too. TWO top fasteners, plus double underbolts. Four bolts. Somebody wanted this one to stay shut.   [/quote]

Whether someone else (like Jones) used a "screw grip" with an underlever, or someone else used a similar mechanism to attach a forend, it remains a fact that the screw grip associated with top lever guns was patented by Webley and Brain in 1882; made by Webley until the merger with Scott in 1897; and made by Webley and Scott thereafter. They were referred to in at least one Webley & Scott catalog as "Patent Top Screw Treble Grip" guns. Probably easier just to say "screw grip", since that is an accurate description of the mechanism.

Too bad all these linked pictures have a limited shelf life. These interesting Webley actions are being discussed on the "Army and Navy, The Jungle Gun" thread.
