The taper is probably intentional, but I could also believe that it is the byproduct of a machine tool that was out of spec. In 1874 a few thousandths per foot was probably considered pretty good.

Are you guys going to Hausman's next week? I have 4054 which is a third grade one from 1874, although the hard life version. It would be fun to compare the three in person. It letters as a $75 grade, 30", Stub Twist, 12ga, choked full and full. |

Yes, I will be there and will have this gun with me. I will have a 3 table booth in the main tent.

Guys,
The PGCA will also have a display booth in the main tent at Hausman's and the theme this year will be hammer guns so there will be plenty there to look at and compare. I will have a couple there including 3251 also made in 1874. This year’s D grade top lever hammer gun will also be there for people to see. |
