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.

We're going to be "gifted" with a health care plan we are forced to purchase and fined if we don't, Which purportedly covers at least ten million more people, without adding a single new doctor, but provides for 16,000 new IRS agents, written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn't understand it, passed by a Congress that didn't read it but exempted themselves from it, and signed by a President, with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes, for which we'll be taxed for four years before any benefits take effect, by a government which has already bankrupted Social Security and Medicare, all to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country that's broke!!!!!

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!

I 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.
