I don't think one has anything to do with the other mechanically.

Nice Lifter, Jay. I also have a 3 Frame 12 ga. It's a tank! I think it was built as a pigeon gun.
A $250 Grade, with super nice dimensions.

I prefer the lifter design for my hammer guns too. I find it quicker and simpler than the top-lever. I like both designs but prefer the lifter.

Here is a “late” lifter made in 1893. This was part of 3 gun order and it looks like all 3 guns had the same specs. From the research I have done, this one(the last serial# in the 3 gun order) appears to be the last lifter made with a straight stock. It is a heck of a 12 gauge on a 3 frame with 32” barrels weighing in at 10 pounds.

Here the original thread when I first got the gun, I have decided to leave the gun as is. Looking through the pictures makes me want to go shoot it the gun this weekend:

Thanks for the pictures and sharing the threads, Jay! That's a cool gun, I thought one of my 12 gauges had heavy barrels at #4 14 oz.

Can you post a picture of your gun? Mine also has nice dimensions despite being made in 1875.

Does anyone else have a late lifter they could post pictures of?
