Lifter guns

[Hammer Gun]

I have shot many 90 degree lifters with RST shells, have not had a problem, I think the ones we see cracked are the result of heavy loads and thousands of rounds of shooting, yes the radius is better but I certainly would not pass up a nice lifter just because it did not have the radius, just my two cents, Gary

I agree, Gary. Maxi Lites are just the shell for the early lifters. Also, I would not hesitate to buy a high grade lifter that was cracked. While I understand why those who knew where that $250 grade was being auctioned kept their cards close to their chest, I wish they had followed through.

Well I "acquired" a circa 1881 lifter in 10 gauge today . This one is radiused . I think it may have a not original stock .
