The other side 
Such a long, long time to be gone, and a short time to be there.

jOe - thank you for your thoughtful and no doubt well-intended opinion on this point. But given a choice, I will stick with what the maker has told me based on a review of their records as opposed to your review of a computer image.
No offense intended, of course . . . .

Doverham,
A gentlemanly reply to Joe's post.
It appears that "Webley Screw Grip" is an often misused
term for any action having 3rd bite using a straight extension locking off the top lever or spindle)& we have determined what features define a true Webley Screw Grip. There are plenty of misused terms in gun descriptions being thrown about (like POW grip) by people who should know better so it's nothing to get upset about as we are all trying to learn something here.
To conclude a very useful thread could someone please comment on the following questions I've asked before.
1. What is the correct term for the type of 3rd bite used on the Gallyon marketed AA Brown built gun featured in this thread?
2. Who besides AA Brown used this type of 3rd bite for their heavy proof guns? Pictures of the 3EP & 4EP guns built by Wrights for the trade appear to use the same type of 3rd bite & the entire action appears to be the same or similar except fot the shaping of the fences. Were these actions commonly available to those who built guns for the trade such as Browns, Wrights & Midland or were they produced individually from commonly available forgings?
I find the Birmingham gun trade both interesting and confusing.

I do not believe I have ever heard it called any thing else other than a third bite . Many makers used this method and as many of the smaller firms bought their actions from machinists such a Joseph Asbury ,the famous "JA" seen on so many gun actions and barrels it was a fairly standard feature on guns with a Scott spindle . An adaptation for guns with cam lever where the the lever had an extended finger as it would with across bolt but much heavier engaging in a slot. There was also a variation like the "hidden" third bite that employed a smaller extension with a sliding wedge also engaging in a slot in the extension this being operated by a peg connecting it to the top lever .

Thanks - I had it restocked over here, by a board member who shall remain unidentified - that was part of our "deal"

As there is only a few that can do that level of work, I know who restocked it or should I say I think I know. Is it still destined for some goose blind or is it your dedicated sporting clays gun?
