By request of a member in another thread, here are some photos and some particulars on the T-Latch that I aquired recently. It is serial number 49.
Barrels are just under 28" long. Chambered for 12g shells.
The locks function great. The gun has been fitted with floating firing pins.
The bores are surprisingly in ok condition. Some shallow pitting and scoring, but overall shiny.
The breech is lose as all heck of course. It has no up and down movement really, but a ton of side to side play when closed.
The back half of the stock is not original. One can tell by the filling of old inletting behind the upper tang and in front of the trigger plate, that the stock was retrofitted from an old muzzleloader. Surprisingly, the action and locks sit into it pretty well.
