I have a question about the lifter action. I have a 10 gauge lifter made in 1882 that you do not need to press the lifter to close the gun. I just bought a 12 gauge lifter made in 1876 that requires you to press the lifter so the action can close. Is this correct for this vintage gun? Was there a change between 1876 and 1882 in the closing design or does something need to be fixed inside the gun?
