Ted, this is weird. Ill get the gun out tomorrow and put it together and have a look. My memory is that the sears protrude up through the flat part of the action just above the triggers and when I pull the triggers they both recede below the flats. So how could they engage the strikers? The old memory isnt what it used to be but I seem to remember doing the same thing on other Darnes. No, Im not dead certain I do have a V but every other V Ive looked at seems exactly the same. Ive never seen a P. I really dont know how exactly they differ.
Yours
N
