my gun dates to 1878. has the wedge forearm
my guess was for brass shells? I don't really know. But she shoots just fine with modern shells as well. the rebate is deeper at the bottom than at the top of the circle. |

Many Jones underlever guns, especially Double rifles, has rebated breech faces. When the under lever was swung, the barrels were free to move forward.

Here is the photo that George sent me. Machined out recesses in the face of the standing breech.

Mine also dates to 1878, ser# 113XX. 10 gauge, wedge forearm, #3 frame & also has the tapered rebate which I assume facilitated opening and closing the gun. Guess there's more in the Parker book than we know of.

What would be the purpose of a rebated breech face?
