I firmly believe that the GB Vouzelaud #GP1915 is a real sidelock.
- Nobody says in that ad that it is a 315EGL model.
- the case label says it is a sidelock.
It could be very much posterior to 1992 and not abiding by Mr Schlitz ( or whatever his name is) rule. BTW, all collectors should know that there is *NO* rule in guns.
As a matter of fact Vouzelaud is currently selling (I did not say making) sidelocks. You can look on their website the 515 PGL model.
There is no point in being worked up about it either.
Variety of systems have various pin counts and locations.
True A&D (e.g. boxlock) actions most certainly cannot be made without a bottom plate.
Other actions: trigger plate, Baker, Manufrance Ideal, Blitz, etc... can be made without one...
But I don't call them boxlocks....
Best regards,
