Ok, my use of the word derelict maybe a bit strong.


Ya think? I'm wondering now, what falling block and tilting block actions have radiused corners. None of the Sharps do (74, 78s, 75s, 77s), Winchester doesn't nor did Browning (now there's a derelict, right? smile ). My various Martinis from different makers didn't. I'm pretty sure I would have seen it in Henrys and Wessons if it was there, but maybe I missed it.

I don't own a Ruger #1 or #3. What are their mortises like? Rugers are pretty modern and not exactly black powder guns by any stretch.

I can't name even one action that I know for sure has radiused corners. Is there one? (Other than the Webley of course)
