I have always liked the idea of a lever lock break barrel but there are so few to choose from, I can only think of three now being made, the HW35 the SMK B2 and the LGV (Are there any more still being made?)

The one thing that turns me off is the position of the lever I don't like the lever protruding from the forend on the LGV and I don't like the cut out in the forend on the 35, the B2 lever position is OK but it is a B2.

Why are locking levers so rare on break barrels is there any benefit? or are they now just a gimmick adding weight and long TP's.

I notice that springers that really need a strong lock up dont have them like the HW80 the patriot the pro elite and the eliminator as well as many other quality break barrels including custom jobs.

If AA do do another break barrel I wonder if it will it have a locking lever
