Well, truthfully, I had heard about Dougall Lock Fast's and thought "wow, this is a great opportunity to buy one to study it"
It really is a very interesting action. I thought "worse comes to worse, I can put it out on a table at a gun show and someone will
come along and I can get my money back".

That being said, I can't help but wonder if I could find some back action locks that could work with it. I have a milling machine
and think I could make a forend iron.
