I have a hammer Jone's underlever with every part on it stamped "Joseph Brazier, Ashes". The rib and outside of the locks are engraved with the name of the country gunsmith, Thomas Johnson. So yes, Brazier not only made locks but also complete guns. It is also noteworthy that Joseph Brazier of Ashes was one of the first in England to embrace machinery capable of producing parts intended to be interchangeable, having been inspired by the success of Sam Colt's development and use of such equipment. Brazier imported from America many of the new machines but soon found English machine makers quite capable of supplying his needs.
I see no reason Greener couldn't farm out action work to someone like Brazier, especially on a gun like the Forester.
