Interesting, tell me about the lever, looks more Remington than Ballard or Winchester.
Michael, when I was gifted the breech block assembly by Charlie Dell, the basis of that lever was in the same cigar box. Joe added the last part of the tail (I can't recall exactly how much was already there, but he added some, I think.) The low resolution of the picture masks just how rough it actually is, and I will have a lot of filing and sanding to do before it is ready to finish. The same is true of the stock... it just is rough turned.
Joe can tell you better than I can, but there is a steel casting available from Track of the Wolf that can be welded to a stubbed off lever. I'm always willing to pick up a broken lever or one someone has "improved" too much to be salvaged otherwise.
