Most people don't think of the BSS Sidelock when they think BSS. I believe only around 2,000 made, total. And I agree, Ted, that we just don't see enough of those to get a handle on how often they're likely to crack behind the locks. The BSS Standard and Sporter boxlocks, however . . . you go to a decent-sized gun show and chances are pretty good there will be one or two. (Same for Ithaca SKB's.) Both very popular guns; both deservedly so. It's a darned shame the Japanese got out of the sxs business.
