Lever locks have no advantage in the accuracy department, but are very smooth and quieter when closing. Latest Weihrauch and some other makes of wedge shape detents usually need a sharp tap on the barrel to open them, and are a bit too clicky for my liking. What I do is take a small diamond file to the point of the wedge and round it off a little, making sure it it cleaned well afterwards. This gets rid of the click, then I apply a bit of moly grease, and the result is a smooth and quiet break action.

I appreciate that Pellpax rebrand rifles. The aforementioned rifle appears to have a lever lock, any idea what this gun started life as before Pellpax rebranded it? I thought it looked a bit like a Norica but couldn't find one with a lever lock

The Jongmans Zealandia over- centre lock is a joy to use - low effort, absolute lock, repeatable and quiet.

I know that I said current lever lock break barrels but I forgot about this old one, the current lever locks might look better if the lever was in a similar place. JMO
