There is a type of single shot rifle made in Germany/Austria
.......that is built in this fashion, to the extent that it even has a firing mechanism that resembles a percussion lock. Various manufacturers and custom shops turn them out, with Kreighoff being the one I recall at the moment.
Very lovely, and cursed with a price that ensures I will never own one.
For many years I toyed with the idea of having Ron Scott stock a Browning BT99 for me in just such a fashion. I intended to have the rib removed and a Greener safety added. But then I am an Odd Fellow after all.
