Or the breeches of the barrels don’t close against the breech face of the frame as well as the other contact points of the barrels and the frame such as the hook and roll joint, the foreward face of the rear lug against the corresponding face of the frame in the slot.
The doll’s head is just cosmetic but the gaps around it cretainly bring into question if the barrels are even original to the gun… or how much abuse it had suffered at the hands of a ham-handed farm hand.
