Have you had a chance to use that one, since Kirk worked on it?

By the way, I consider myself only a student of the sliding breech gun, not an expert. I seem to learn interesting things about them all the time. I hope to keep doing that.

The hard and fast rules like one piece and two piece opening lever get fuzzy on older guns. But, you bring up an excellent point, Paul. George, if you can, send off a photo or two of the gun, so we can be sure your 80 year old shoulders aren't tugging in vain on an old P gun. A clear view or three of the action and a shot of the action flats would help greatly.

My email is in my profile, if you don't know how to post pictures, here. I'll do it for you, if you would like.

Best,
Ted
