Ken61,

I own SAC's, and while you are right about the swept back frame that looks almost exactly alike, i can tell you that the cocking mechism is nothing alike. From even just a visual, the barrel lug is not nearly aa broad as an SAC.

Lastly, for that to be the case, the patent would have to be assigned to Frank Hollenbeck, given the date. And there are no Hollenbeck patents from 1884.
