I disagree that the added locking points have anything to do with necessity and that added locking points were added because one locking point was not sufficient. Many examples of single locking points that are sufficient have been shown. If they are unnecessary, and clearly not cheap to produce, why are they there?

Many examples of single locking points that are sufficient have been shown. If they are unnecessary, and clearly not cheap to produce, why are they there? Literally millions of shotguns are safe and secure, and have digested billions of shells with single locking bolt systems. That should be enough for anyone capable of rational thought. Multiple locking bolts on shotguns are there because, as P.T. Barnum famously observed... ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/8ckxCxcP/sucker-born-every-minute-P-T-Barnum.jpg) P.T. Barnum is long gone, but he has been replaced by other Hucksters and Show Men... ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/RC8ThjNs/sucker-born-every-minute-Al-Gore.jpg)

As far as I know Merkle is the only newly made gun with a crossbolt. The crossbolt surely doesn't hurt, that is what Merkle is tooled up for so that is what they make. Why change now? Why do they have bolsters on their shotguns? No real need for them either. Why table lumps, (I think)? Monoblock is better, chopper lumps impress as well. I'm not dissing your Merkle, as I stated I would have one. I prefer upper end Japanese shotguns and some low end ones too! Oh and occasionally a "Woolnerized" 1100 20 Ga. classless pragmatist I!
