Barrel lug study, Eli Nup (Knupp) rifle

The following pictures show the underside of the forearm of an Eli Nup (Knupp) rifle with the ramrod removed. I surmise that the barrel lugs must be L-shaped, because no barrel retaining pins are visible on the outside of the stock. I've heard through the grapevine that this is a feature that is found on at least some Dormayer rifles.
