    Is it the Lincoln, John, which had a hand-screw bolt to disengage the barrel/cocking link?

    Dead right Danny. Anyone who has ever tried to stow a Lincoln in their coat pocket will appreciate why Lincoln Jeffries chose to add this feature to his baby.

    Fascinating piece, along the lines of the classic breakdown big game rifles of yesteryear

    Can I ask... what is the rifle you have as your 'ident pic'?

    That's an old pre 1900 Winchester 1892, restocked and rebarrelled in .357 Magnum by David Miller years ago, looks like it came out of the factory last week yet most of it is 120 years old

    David Miller is a bit of a hero of mine.

    I'll bring it to Kempton

    It seems they are quite expensive these days https://www.gunsamerica.com/98345415...ic-375-H-H.htm
