[QUOTE="aviator41, post: 2309638, member: 30309"] [ATTACH=CONFIG]32835[/ATTACH] This photo clearly shows the updated breech with an extractor (bottom left) and recess for a rimmed metallic cartridge. [ATTACH=CONFIG]32836[/ATTACH] The rifles 'best side' - beautiful! The lever "take-down pin" mechanism seems odd. I'm looking for more info on it. The squared off hammer is a clear indication of an updated rifle. Rather than striking a nipple where a percussion cap would go, it contacts the firing pin assembly. The hand guard locking mechanism works just fine, but is in it's unlocked position because I was taking photos. [ATTACH=CONFIG]32837[/ATTACH] Breech closed, the updated breech block carrying a firing pin can be seen. [ATTACH=CONFIG]32838[/ATTACH] Closer look into the bore from the receiver [/QUOTE]
