Interesting For-end Tip:
I noticed the for-end tip on my 1880 10 gauge Lifter wasn’t like any of my other Parkers. The raised bead tip extends around to the inside face of the for-end and is relieved for the barrel channel. This design was probably short lived due to labor savings. However, I like the design, it seems to have held up well for the last 143 years.
