Shotgun Forend Latches

Top: Anson Release - A latch for securing the forend to the barrels of a break-open gun, operated, via a longitudinal rod, by a pushbutton exposed at the very tip of the forend. Typically seen on Purdey and Boss guns.

Bottom: Deeley Release - A latch for securing the forend to the barrels of a break-open gun, operated by a short pull-down lever mounted to the center of the forend. Typically seen on Parker and Prussian Charles Daly guns.

Lever Release - A latch for securing the forend to the barrels of a break-open gun, operated by swiveling a lever to the side. Although slightly less ergonometric, it provides a more positive lock than either of the above. Primarily used on double rifles.
