SKB,
Any pix I'd take would be of the engraved sidelocks! I've messed with doubles for 20 years and have learned tons from the posts on this site. Over the years I have learned to pick your fights carefully! Diving into this 303, which was my father's, is above my pay grade. At 79 I don't think I've got the patience or time to learn the ins, outs, and tempering of top lever springs!
I get the feeling the correct course is to find a competent smith to handle it.
Thank you to all for your input and the knowledge this entire board has had over the years!
Jim.
