The patent I referred to is a British patent. The patent reads quite long, but the drawing seems to show the barrels sliding forward, then dropping down. On closing I see the barrels back on face over projections on the standing breech , maybe similar to the Dougall Lockfast. I could be wrong as I don't have my glasses at the moment.
Yes , the Forest and Streams are valuable research materials. I have most of them from the beginning up until the 1920s. Really too much to go through in the weekly magazines [up until the end, the publishing was less frequent]. Hundreds of pounds of material.
