Can any one post pic's of this action showing it's specific characteristics?

Ideally action open, all angles so we can see what makes it different?

Any experts that want to describe it's particulars feel free to jump in.

Have you checked over at www.nitroexpress.com? That's where the experts on this topic are to be found.

Big 5 some one posted pictures of the rising Bite just recently, maybe doa a search for the words rising bite!

JACK, YOU SHOULD HAVE ASKED WHILE YOU WERE HERE. I COULD HAVE SHOWN YOU A RIGBY SHOTGUN -SIDELOCK RISING BITE WITH AN UNDERLEVER SNAP ACTION. TOM

simply put - the rising bite action is like a greener crossbolt turned horizontal. the lock up "bite" comes up to engage the rib extension from the barrel.

Here's the best one I have on file, in terms of being able to see how the Rigby/Bissell Rising Third Bite actually works.

Thanks anyway tomo577, oh well.

Thank you Marrakai, for the pic's.

It seems that this design would

do no more than a dolls head. I

see nothing that aids in holding

the breach end of the bbls DOWN.

Am I correct? I did search around

and have concluded that for the

purpose of holding the action

closed tight, nothing beats a screw

grip. Now the Jones SG seems to be

not as fast to operate as the Webley

and Brain patent. Which is the best

representation of that patent? The

Webley A & W C [what do those letters

stand for] the Webley PHV-1, or some

other?

They're both derivatives.

A = The Anson and Deeley Patent

W = The Webley & Brain Patent

C = Cordite

Just prior to WWI, Rigby abandoned the Bissell rising bite on their sidelocks in favor of the Webley & Brain screw grip they were already using on their boxlocks. More positive, easier to make.

Thank you 400NE. Now can I ask what PHV-1 means letter by letter?

Plain High Velocity 1st Model. Webley intended this version to be a dead plain model, and therefore cheaper to make than the higher grade A & W. As retailed by Webley themselves, they were. However, those made for other gunmakers were delivered as ordered, which often was anything but plain.

The PHV-2 was the plain version of their backlock hammer DR.
