Bill,
This is just my opinion, but I believe the left tenon was partially cutout to allow it to pass over a flat section of the crossbolt, then when the bolt moved to right upon closure, a circular section of the pin would fill that left tenon?
The last version of the Flues with the cross bolt, the left tenon was shortened even more, so that only maybe 50% of the pin contacted the tenon.
Speaking of a 7E Knick, there was one that sold maybe 4-5 weeks ago, I went to take a look see, was pretty decent, 32" barrel, someone bought a good one for $6999.00, timing just wasn't good
