Picked these up today. The barrels say Handmade by William (Bill) Alfred Frederickson 1930-2004. One is 56" long with a 40.5" barrel and .36 cal. and has a button on the bottom of the stock to open the door. The other is 64" with a 48" barrel and I can't figure out how to open the door.

Nice looking rifles! Seems there should be either a button or perhaps just a spring with a relief to get your fingernail under the patch box to lift it manually. What caliber is the second rifle?
