Don, the pics are not great but as you can see those two pins are set into matching holes in the forend steel. When the gun is closed the center pin or hinge is in alinement with the contour of the action. When the gun is open the leverage rotates the hinge out of contour. There are no screw slots on either side. It is a very smooth action to operate. I'm just curious. Where did this design originate? Paul http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y98/pauld5/IMG_3774.jpg[/IMG]
