More Information
The first patent for a rebounding lock was issued in England in 1866. This was followed by a more practical English design in 1867 and a similar American design early in 1868. The rebounding lock quickly became an essential feature of all breech-loading hammer guns. The author has traced the rebounding lock by illustrating all of the American & English patents & he has included a photographic catalog of specimens.
