my gun dates to 1878. has the wedge forearm

my guess was for brass shells? I don't really know. But she shoots just fine with modern shells as well.

the rebate is deeper at the bottom than at the top of the circle.

Many Jones underlever guns, especially Double rifles, has rebated breech faces. When the under lever was swung, the barrels were free to move forward.

Mine also dates to 1878, ser# 113XX. 10 gauge, wedge forearm, #3 frame & also has the tapered rebate which I assume facilitated opening and closing the gun. Guess there's more in the Parker book than we know of.

What would be the purpose of a rebated breech face?
