Very interesting indeed.

Similar in some ways to a cocking rod Lefever.

Agreed Brian,

Hanging sears are Lefeveresque for sure as is the cocking mechanism except for Coil springs!

I have a hard time telling that the Smith gun was once a hammer gun. However, since A.P. Curtis was a plant superintendent at Hunter Arms, and extremely talented, it is not hard to believe that he built these conversions, both at Hunter and Parker Brothers. Oh, by the way, where is that letter on the Parker conversion? I am interested and my $40 is in the mail. OH! I forgot. We are a research facility and all this information will appear in the next post. I don't need to send in $40.

Personally, I would sure like to know if these "conversions" were in any way official R&D efforts by Parker management and/or mechanics - in an effort to develop a hammerless gun for production.

I believe it will cost you $40 a gun. There is very little voluntary research information available from PGCA.
