The Manufrance Robusts have a latch that works like that. I don't know if it is the same action and patent.

Best,

Mike

Quite often used on double rifles as it is very positive and secure


Better to keep your mouth shut and be thought stupid,than open it and confirm.

Although I don't have the patent on hand(maybe in DGJ Vol. 9 Issue 4?), I've attributed it to Charles Harvey for his forend fastener British patent 1793 of 1866. I believe he was working at Wilkinson Sword or Rigby at the time. The Vienna contingent of Austrian gunmakers were quite fond of it.



Kind Regards,

Yes it does. I guess it anchors on the loop and as the lever is turned it pushes the forend back into the action. The Rigby doesn't?

I have one on a Nowoty (that's right, spelled with no "n")O/U combo in 16/8x57JR. Have just posted pictures under "help with proofmarks" in the German and Austrian section. Seems to have been proofed in Wiepert. Steve

In my Bonehill Catalogue 1888, there are 5 fore-end fasteners listed that can be had on his shotguns, Deeley & Edge, Anson, The Bonehill Patent, the Key and the Grip Fore-end, I'm sure there are other variants. I have a Bonehill Patent, its basically a minature Jones underlever, the lever snaps down into the latch and must be first lifted and then turned. The one CJO is asking about is called the "Grip Fore-End" fastener. FWIW --- John Can,
