Butt Plate Comparison:
The Flanders Quality 2 and the two barrel set Quality 3 are both 1886 guns, 563 guns apart. A side by side comparison of the butt plates illustrated below. The left one is the 4 frame 10, the right is a 3 frame 10. The plates look similar, perhaps identical. The 4 frame butt stock is noticeably thicker from front to back.
The letter for the Flanders “Outhouse Blaster” has been requested. I’ll share it if it contains anything interesting other than ACME hardware blah blah blah.
