Well Dean, it's hard being me sometimes. I skipped over to my bench and found one of the brass drifts that I have used for years and applied it gently. Both keys moved easily. Thank you.
Chuck, the drop at the heel is 27/8". Measured it several times. Definitely not a trap stock.
Also, when I got the forends removed I found the serial number on both irons as well as the keys themselves. And, the color case hardening is still bright on both irons. The little screws in the irons have been engraved. And, I took the gun out in the sun today and there is a little color on the left hand lock.
