Geoffrey Boothroyd in an article in the Shooting Times April29-May5 1976 refers to this stock as unusual and states that it was patented by Alex. Henry and Daniel Fraser in1877. The rifle he illustrates the article with was in .451 calibre. He states that a similar rifle is in the collection of the Kilmarnock Museum and Dick Institute in Kilmarnock. Both triggers are able to operate the action, the normal trigger in the prone position and the forward trigger used when the shooter is lying on his back. There is also a leather fitted pad on the comb of the stock which can be moved forwards or backwards to suit the rifleman.
