So, if field serviceability is an issue the stock bolted stock seems to rank above the detachable lock.


Disc set strikers, with the tool to remove them, and a spare set of strikers, would eliminate the most problematic link in the above named chain of trouble.
My experience with English single triggers mirrors exactly my experience with Lucas electrics installed in older English cars and motorcycles.
