    No latch on the hinged block to keep it closed hence the name.
    Later versions had a latch.

    I have 3 - a full length rifle (3 bander like in the photo), a shorter "suicide" model which is a muzzle loader conversion, and a Hollis cavalry carbine with saddle ring.

    I have shot the conversion a few times and the cavalry carbine maybe 300- 400 times back in the day when I was fully into BP.

    I am not sure I would want to take on an irate elephant with a Snider.
