I hate the Greener cross bolt. I don't think it is necessary on a shotgun. That being said I will agree that is a very strong lock up, best used on rifles. My problem with it is most are pretty sharp and pointed and if you had a mishap with an open gun you could be cut or gouged by that bolt sticking out. It will draw blood! It cold also be damaged with an open gun fall and could raise a burr that could prevent the gun from closing all the way. The hidden one that you guys are discussing here is infinitely more desirable to me. But a nice high end Francotte with a Greener cross bolt would not be a deal breaker to me. You have to make some exceptions sometimes!
