Cool! My 1879 Lifter is a 2-5/8" chambered 10. The gun is in pieces ('bits' as the English say) for clean-up and TLC. The right hammer is cracked, though. Brad Bachelder said he has a process with some sort of laser welding that he can repair it with. The gun was restocked, who knows when, and needs some TLC in the wood department. The forend is original. There is a debate right now about barrels made by Parker. Mine are 'Laminated Steel' with suspicious markings! I just purchased a Lee Loader for short 10s so I can eventually assemble my own shells. It should prove to be an interesting gun! Good luck with yours. Cheers!
