Rigby Bissel system?
Can anyone help me understand how the Rigby Bissel bite system works? I and trying to understand the system and how it differs from a standard Box lock system. I recently read a commentary on this patent claiming several benefits …would like to hear various opinions.
Roscoe,
Someone with more experence can explain it better in detail, but to start off, it has nothing to do with being a boxlock or sidelock.
as fact all of the Rigby guns that I have seen with that system were sidelocks.
It is just another way of putting another "bite" to secure the gun, keep the barrels from torquing and twisting open. It sure looks cooler than a greener cross-bolt, but I still like the dolls head!

BigFiveJackI believe RIGBY dropped the Rising Bite and went to the
Webley A&WC type dolls head and third bite as their locking
up system years ago back in London.
