James Dougall Lockfast Double Rifle



James Dalzell Dougall double barrel .500 Black Powder Express rifle. Back action hammer gun. With the famous Dougall "Lock fast" closing mechanism using a cam operating lever on the right side of the receiver which breaks open the barrels and slides the barrels back over bosses on the fence of the breech. The theory is that it created a tighter seal around the bullet.
