- This text from Charles E. Carder’s “Recognizing Side By Side Shotguns” is a guide for understanding the mechanisms and features of side-by-side shotguns. Carder, a lifelong hunter and collector, explains the different locking mechanisms, such as boxlock, sidelock, and cross bolt, as well as common safety features like top slide safety and side safety. The text also covers different barrel types, including Damascus and twist barrels, and various forearm designs such as splinter and beaver-tail.
