Scott's Crossbolt

Scott's Crossbolt - A tapered square bar, operated by the opening lever of a break-open side-by-side gun, passing transversely through the standing breech and a matching square hole in a rib extension; to strengthen the lock-up. The example pictured is augmented by a passive doll's head

Greener's crossbolt operates similarly, but is round in cross-section.

A Kersten Lock operates on the same mechanical principle, but is more suitable for over/under or single shot guns.
