when parker developed their hammerless gon, whose bolting system did they copy?

If, as Ed implies, Parker looked around and decided to use the Westley Richards system, they must have changed their minds because the Parker and Westley Richards locking systems are as far apart in design as any two guns can be. Ed must be feigning ignorance, if this is the correct term for it. He's playing with us.

Wr used a rib extention.parker used a single underbite .i can't believe someone who has been selling guns for as long as edd has no idea about these simple facts.another pre hawking gun selling troll

Concerning bolting systems, Parker Brothers didn't fall into the "multiple bolting lug" trap. They used one locking bolt and didn't try to improve on it by using more than one. It seems to have worked for more than 150 years without a change considering the Parker Reproduction and the Galazan AAHE still use the identical system. The doll's head rib extension was never part of the locking mechanism on a Parker, only a show piece that was not included on many Parkers from early models, to Trojans, to pigeon guns and single barrel trap guns up to the last years of production.

You ask a question, then don't like the answer. That was not a SWAG.
