Thanks Dean,
I checked and I can open the action with the right hammer cocked with both 28 and 32 inch barrel sets. The 32" have more use and the action opens just before the top lever touches the hammer. To open the 28" set one has to force (with a few pounds pressure) the top lever into the hammer. The 28" set seems to have had little use.
I shot new photos in this morning's light and will process and send later today.
Respectfully,
Mark
