The fishtail lever was originally introduced to facilitate opening and closing the action with the right hammer fully cocked. Some didn’t need it though. It seems certain frame size/gauge combinations needed it while others didn’t. Parker Bros. being the thrifty yankee company that it was had an overstock of these levers when hammer guns were being phased out so they used up the remaining stock of these levers on hammerless guns.

Maybe this is the right time to ask those with a fishtail lever hammer gun that won't open with the right hammer cocked...
WHAT FRAME SIZE IS YOUR GUN? .
